The inflated varieties of the type 31. seminuhim may be referred 

 to the above specific name. M. inflata is a common Tertiary form, 

 and is most typical in the Eocene and Miocene formations. 

 Schwager records his M. lucens from the cherty ^/weo/ma-liraestone 

 and marl between Siut and Farafrah ; on the Nekeb-el-Farudj ; 

 in the upper beds of El Guss-Abu-Said, and in the Alveolina- 

 limestone of Wady Natfe in the Arabian Desert.

3f. semimdum is a common species in the Pa/eWi'/m-limestone from 

 Egypt, and the specimens are well developed. 



As a fossil this forarainifer dates from the Lower Eocene period, 

 and it is also a well-known shallow-water species at the present day.
