f. 94 ; Bos. calymene, f. 100 ; Truncat. cristata, f. 105 (the first 

 three are near the common Tr. lobatula ; the last three are near Tr. 

 coronata, and indeed the last one is almost the same) . Bot. eocaena, 

 f. 87, and Bos. subumbonata, f. 98, are also possibly PlanorhulincB. 

 PuLViNULiNA : Bot. himamata, f. 85 ; Bot. campanella, f. 86 ; Bos. 

 asterites, f. 101 (;=r Pulv. Menardii, deep-sea form). It is difficult 

 to place Botalia polygomata, f. 89. No true Botalia is figured 

 among the above.^ 



The monograph on Orbitoides, forming part of Dr. Giimbel's 

 Memoir (pages 670-725), and illustrated by plates 3 and 4, and part 

 of pi. 2, is very welcome. 



§ n. In the " Jahrbuch der kais. konigl. geologischen Eeichsan- 

 stalt, 1869, vol. xix., pages 175-186," Dr. C. W. Gtimbel has given 

 a notice of the Eoraminifera, Ostracoda, and other microscopic 

 organic remains found in the Saint-Cassian and Eaibl formations. 

 From these beds of the Upper Trias, Prof. A. E. Eeuss had pre- 

 viously noticed ^ some Foraminifera (Glandulina obconica, Cristellaria, 

 Marginulina, Globigerina, PolymorpJiina, Textilaria, Cornuspira fili- 

 formis, and Biloculma ; also two Entromostraca, Oythere Cassiana 

 and Gj/tJierella limbata. Dr. Giimbel now describes and figures, 

 from the Cardita-crenata beds, three Dentalince (of the universal D. 

 communis type) , D. TcorynepJiora, D. Cassiana, and D. transmontana ; 

 Glandulina pupiformis ; Cristellaria Cassiana (of Cr. rotulata type) ; 

 Folymorpliinaf longirostrata ; Cornuspira [or Trochammina'\pachygyra ; 

 and Botalia Cassiana, which is a Pulvinulina, near to Fulv. Karsteni, 

 Eeuss, sp. Minute calcareous plates of Echinoderms, &c., accompany 

 these ; also Bairdia Cassiana, Eeuss, sp., and £. Marrubiana. 



From Eaibl (the MyopJioria-Baibliana beds) Dr. Giimbel has 

 Nodosaria Baibliana (of the common N. raphanus type), Lingulina 

 intumescens, Planularia pauperata, P. and J., Guttulina ? Baibliana 

 (a common Polymorphina) , Triloculina Baibliana (like Tr. oblonga), 

 and some of the St.-Cassian forms. Also the following Ostracoda : 

 1. Cytherella Baibliana; 2. C. subcylindrica, Sandberger, sp. ; 3. 

 Bairdia CarintJiiaca ; 4. B. perlata ; 5. Cythere Baibliana ; and 6. 

 C. tuber culif era. C. fraierna, Eeuss, from Eaibl, had been pre- 

 viously published. The generic relationships of nearly all these are 

 very doubtful. No. 2 looks somewhat like a Limnicythere ; No. 3 does 

 not look like a Bairdia; nor does No. 4 (probably a Loxoconcha) . 

 No. 5, a very neat form, has possibly some alliance with Cytlieropteron. 

 No. 6 is strange ; it may be allied to Cytherella, and so may No. 2, 

 as suggested by Giimbel.^ C. fraterna seems to be a Cytherella. 



^ The Rotalince have heen especially studied by Mr. "W. K. Parker, and his 

 classification and definitions maybe found in Carpenter's " Introd. Study of Foram.," 

 and in the " Phil. Trans.," toI. civ. (1865), p. 378, etc. To these works the atten- 

 tion of naturalists, treating of fossil and recent Eotalines, should be particularly 

 directed.

3 The palaeontologist has now a broader and firmer base, than heretofore, for his 

 comparisons of fossil Ostracoda with the existing forms, in the late Memoirs on the 

 living genera and species, by Mr. G. S. Brady; in the Transactions of the Zoological 

 andLinnean Societies; the "Annals of Nat. Hist. ;" the "Fonds de la Mer," etc.
