CoRNUSPiRA FOLIACEA, Pliilippi sp. (Plate 3. fig. 48.) 

 Orbis foltaceiis, Philippi, 1844, Enum. Moll. Sicil. vol. ii. p. 147, pi. 24. fig. 26. 

 Cornus^yira foliacea, Phil, sp., Brady, 1884, Rep. Ohall. vol. ix. p. 199, pi. 11. figs. 5-9 ; 

 Howchin {pars), 1889, Trans. R. Soc. S. Australia, vol. xii. p. 4. 



The above is distinguished from C. involvens hj the stronger compression 

 oi the test, and the rapid increase in the diameter of the last whorl. From 

 C. striolata it is separated by the much slighter structure and absence of the 

 crowded undulose striae so conspicuous on the latter species. 



C. foliacea has been recorded by Howchin from the Lower ' Bed of Muddy 

 Creek, and by Vine from the Tertiaries of Port Phillip. 



Occurrence. — Grice's Creek, frequent; Kackeraboite Creek, rare; Altona 

 Bay Coal-Shaft, common. 



Family ASTRORHIZIDiE. 



Subfamily RnABDAMMiNiNiE. 

 Genus Jaculella, Brady. 

 ? Jaculella obtusa, Brady. (Plate 3. fig. 49.) 



Jaculella obtusa, Brady, 1882, Proc. Roy. Soc. Edin. vol. xi. p. 714 ; id., 1884, Rep. 

 Chall. vol. ix. p. 256, pi. 22. figs. 19-22. 



There is very little doubt that our specimens belong to the above genus 

 and species. They consist of fairly straight tubes of firmly cemented sand- 

 grains, amongst which are also included minute tests of other, calcareous, 

 foraminifera. The tube is slightly wider at one end than the other. The 

 examples found seem to have lost the bulbous extremity, which is present in 

 the living examples. 



This appears to be the first recorded occurrence of the genus in the fossil 

 condition. 



As a recent organism J. obtusa occurred in the " warm area " of the 

 Faroe Channel at depths of 350 and 542 fathoms. 



Occurrence. — -Grice's Creek, rare.

Dr. Brady briefly but clearly described this species in the ' Challenger ' 

 Jleport, and stated thtit his specimens were dredged in the Mediterranean,
