Characters. — Shell attenuate, sabcylindrical, slightly constricted at the septal 

 lines. Anterior extremity acute ; posterior rounded. Chambers elongate, 

 oblique, erect, slightly ventricose. 



Of the very long, many-cliambered PohjmorpJiinge, perhaps P. Thouini is the 

 best-defined variety ; yet the name does not appear to have been generally 

 adopted by authors. It represents a longer, more cylindrical subtype than 

 P. fiisiformis, with a larger number of chambers and less oblique setting-on ; 

 indeed, it resembles more a much outdrawn specimen of P. jn-oblema than any 

 other variety. 



Occurrence. — Polymorphina Thouini is of rare occurrence in recent waters. 

 The records given in the ' Challenger ' Report are from the Levant (90 fathoms), 

 and off East Moncoeur Island, Bass Strait (38 fathoms). In a fossil condition the 

 species is also somewhat rare. It has been obtained from the Lias (Terquem) ; 

 from the Eocene (Calcaire-grossier) of the Paris Basin ; from the Oligocene of 

 Pietzpuhl ; and from the Pliocene of Italy. In addition to the record for the 

 Coralline Crag, given in Appendix II, Part I, we have specimens from Sudbourne 

 Hall, zone d, and Broom Hill, zones d and e.
