characteristic sculpture of this robust shell. The species was. 

 originally described from the Middle Eocene of France, and it was 

 recognized by A. d'Archiac as occurring in the Eocene deposits 

 of Sarikaia (Ilumelia) and in the Crimea. 1 



Horizon. — Middle Eocene (Lutetian). 



Locality. — Tzenguerli Dere.

Specimens showing cylindrical tubes measuring 5 millimetres in 

 diameter, which are externally covered with granulose longitudinal 

 costse ; in these and their septal characters, so far as can be ascei- 

 tained, they appear to be related to the CI. articulata, as described 

 by Abich, from the Nummulitic rocks of Russian Armenia. 



Horizon. — Middle Eocene (Lutetian). 



Locality. — Gorgona Here, near Sarkeui.

There are three specimens belonging to the genus Cycloseris 

 which are related to C. Perezi, a Lutetian species recognized from 

 France and India (Scind). The calyx is subcircular, with a 

 diameter ranging from 30 to 40 millimetres, the height of the coral 

 being about 10 mm. The specimens are nummiform above but 

 turbinate below, and the septa are probably more tortuous than 

 straight (as originally described), although they are equally thin and 

 numerous, being well exposed marginally, finely dentated, and 

 minutely granulated on the lateral surfaces. The slightly-turbinate 

 basal region is covered with a thin concentric epitheca, through 

 which the costations are seen ; while its central area forms a 

 rounded horizontal section of about 9 millimetres in diameter, ex- 

 hibiting a series of thickened septa, the chief of which extend to a 

 papilla-like columella. 



Horizon. — Middle Eocene (Lutetian). 



Locality. — Yernitza.
