Polymorphina granulosa Egger seems to be closer to Glohulina striata 

 in general features, especially in its shape, but the paratype specimen 

 of the latter examined by us is an ornamented Glohulina gibba, and 

 the test is not elongated as in Polymorphina granulosa. 



D'Orbigny's Globulina grateloupi and Globulina elongata, both from 

 Dax and figured by Fornasini, coincide in their general features with 

 the present species; the differences are the more acuminate apertural 

 end and slightly compressed test. We have examined a large number 

 of specimens from Dax and Bordeaux which are referable to Globulina 

 grateloupi or G. elongata, and found that most specimens are closer to 

 Egger's Globulina granulosa. 



Globulina granulosa is distinguished from other related GlobuUnas 

 by its elongate test. 



Distribution. — The species is rather common in European younger 

 Tertiary deposits. Our specimens represent the following localities: 



Miocene. — France, Burdigalien superieur, Pont Pourguet, Saucats; 

 Burdigalien moyen, Le Coquillat, Leognan; St. Paul de Dax, Dax; 

 Burdigalien inferieur, Moulin de d'Eglise, Saucats. Germany, 

 Ortenberg.

Variety differing from the typical in its surface, which is smooth. 



Among the figures of Polymorphina polita Terquem from the Eocene 

 of Vaudancourt, at least figure 25 can be included in the present 

 variety. His figure 24 shows a specimen having the last chamber 

 much farther removed from the base and the Figure 23 having the 

 chamber still more removed. We place them under this variety with 

 some doubts. Polymorphina obscura d'Orbigny, figured by Terquem, 

 resem.bles figure 23 of Polymorphina polita, the difference being only 

 in the compressed test. D'Orbigny 's Guttulina laevigata, figured by 

 Fornasini, is probably a shorter form of the present variety. 



Length, 0.40-0.80 mm.; breadth, 0.23-0.55 mm.; thickness, 0.20- 

 0.50 mm. 



Distribution. — We have specimens from the following localities: 



Pliocene. — England, Crag of Sutton (?). Italy, Castel Arquato. 



Miocene. — France, Aquitanian superieur, St. Avit, near Mont de 

 Marsan; Burdigalien moyen, Le Coquillat, Leognan; Burdigalien
