20. [Miliolina striata (d'Orbigny).] 

 20A. Miliolina poeyana (d'Orbigny). 



Quinqueloculina poeyana, d'Orbigny, 1839, De la Sagra, Hist. 

 Phisiq., etc., de Cuba. "Foraminiferes," p. 191, pi. XI, 

 figs. 25-27. 



An elongated variety of M. bicornis, the chambers how- 

 ever being more circular in transverse section, and the costse 

 more strongly marked. Rare at Biarritz, only about half-a- 

 dozen specimens being found in the 1897 Gatherings. 



(The specimens are not referable to the Cuban species M. 

 poeyana, but to the much more robust form M. striata (d'Orb.) 

 with which we dealt at some length in our Kerimba Monograph 

 (H-A & E. 1914, etc. F.K.A. p. 579., pi. XLIV, figs. 13-17.) ) 



21. Miliolina parisiensis (d'Orbigny) var. 



Quinqueloculina parisiensis, d'Orbigny, 1826, Ann. Sci. Nat., 



vol. VII, p. 301, No. 5. 

 Miliolina parisiensis, Millett, 1898, Journ. Roy. Micr. Soc, 

 1898, p. 504, pi. XII, fig. 1, a, b, c. 



Only two specimens were found, one of which was so worn 

 as to leave very little of the external characters visible. The 

 other one on being placed in fluid displayed clearly the rectangu- 

 lar ornamentation shown in Millett's figure. My specimens 

 are broader in proportion to length than those from the Malay 

 Archipelago and also lack the produced ultimate chamber, but 

 there is no doubt in my mind that they ought to be assigned 

 to the above species. 



(The specimens can only be regarded as unsatisfactory 

 examples of an unsatisfactory species. One of the specimens 

 is so worn as to be unidentifiable, except by its resemblance in 

 contour with the other specimen which is covered with minute 

 pits. No signs of striae or costas remain on the test, which in 

 form is nearer Quinqueloculina /»'?'.yca,Terquem than parisiensis. 

 The specific name M . parisiensis has now become identified 

 with Terquem's figure (T. 1882. F.E.P. p. 181, pi. XIX. 

 (XXVII) fig. 21) of a common Paris Eocene fossil, which'we 

 identified and figured from similar material from Selsey Bill 

 (H-A & E. 1908, etc., S.B., 1909, p. 315, pi. XV. figs. 3-5.) 

 The Terquem form is covered with minute pits set in regular 

 lines between the costse; d'Orbigny 's original name has only 

 the descriptive definition added to it in the Pro- 

 drome (d'O. 1849 P-P- 1850. Vol. II. p. 409. No. 1364.)
