The relationship between the fossil fauna of Vienna and the 

 living Foraminifera of the Mediterranean is shown in the Table 

 opposite to page 302, Quart. Jourii. Geol. Soc. vol. xvi. The species 

 there numbered 104-107 avo Planoi-hidince ; 108-118 aro Puhi7iu- 

 lince ; 119-123 are Rotalice ; and 127-132 are Discorbince. 



§ IX. — To render our conception of the Eotaline portion of local and 

 successive Foraminiferal faunaj more complete, we here add tabular 

 abstracts of those treated of by D'Orbigny fx-om the West Indies*, 

 the Canary Islandsf, and South America^, revising his nomencla- 

 ture. The EoTALiNiE which we have described from the Arctic and 

 North-Atlantic Oceans are also herewith tabulated. Thus we shall 

 have before us comparative synopses of this important and charac- 

 teristic Ilhizopodal group, not only from several parts of the great 

 Atlantic, but from the long-preceding Cretaceous ocean. This old 

 water-area was not so wholly altered by changed limits and oscil- 

 lating floor, but that its deeper portions may have continued as the 

 sunken abysses of succeeding periods, and not ceased to receive the 

 shells and ooze of succeeding generations. 



An intermediate and local fauna, also, is represented in the Table 

 of the fossU Rotalines from the vicinity of Vienna, such as lived in 

 a large but " mediterranean " sea succeeding (not immediately) a 

 portion of the Cretaceous ocean, after the Nummulitic ocean had 

 been formed by limitation of the latter, and had itself dwindled into 

 the Mid-Tertiary seas, one of which the Viennese deposits under 

 notice represent. 



The " Nummulitic " period had Rotalines of very great interest, 

 which we treat of in three selected lists further on. To complete 

 the subject, we will in another paper give a sketch of the distribu- 

 tion of the very important genus Glohigerina, including its earlier 

 and present stages of existence.
