58 UPPER CRETACEOUS-LOWER TERTIARY FORAMINIFERA 



9. T. esnaensis (Le Roy) probably belongs to Globorotalia whitei Wiess. 

 10. Both their T. simulatilis (Schwager) and T. spinulosa (Cushman) probably 

 belong to Globorotalia bollii sp. nov., and their T. velascoensis (Cushman) is 

 probably Globorotalia angulata angnlata (White) or a transitional form 

 between it and G. angulata abundocamerata Bolli. 



Said (i960) recorded the occurrence of three species of Globigerina , nine species of 

 Globorotalia, and two species of Hastigerina in the shale and limestone succession of 

 the Gebel Gurnah section, Luxor, which he regarded as Landenian-Ypresian in 

 age. Again, practically all the species were misidentified and thus the stratigraphy 

 was not correctly interpreted. Analysis of his description and figures showed that : 



1. Globigerina eocaena Giimbel probably belongs to Globigerina turgida Finlay. 



2. Globigerina inaequispira Subbotina probably belongs to Globigerina pseudo- 



eocaena Subbotina. 



3. Globigerina triloculinoides Plummer does not belong to this species, but may 



be one of its descendants. 



4. Globorotalia conicotruncata Subbotina is a doubtful form ; Subbotina's 



species is a junior synonym of Globorotalia angulata (White), while his 

 figures are different. 



5. Globorotalia imitata Subbotina is a doubtful form ; it is different from 



Subbotina's original description and figures, and from hypotypes of G. 

 imitata recorded in the present work. 



6. Globorotalia interposita Subbotina probably belongs to Globigerina soldadoensis 



Bronnimann. 



7. Globorotalia pentacamerata (Subbotina) is probably Globigerina mckannai 



White. 



8. Globorotalia planoconica Subbotina is not a Globorotalia but may be referable 



to the genus Globanomalina [? Globanomalina eocenica (Berggren)] as are his 

 Hastigerina aspera (Ehrenberg) and Hastigerina micra (Cole). Ehrenberg's 

 original form most probably belongs to the genus Globigerinelloides, and is 

 not recorded from strata younger than Upper Campanian. 



9. Globorotalia pseudotopilensis (Subbotina) is probably Globorotalia esnaensis 



(Le Roy). 



10. Globorotalia simulatilis (Schwager) is probably Globorotalia subbotinae Morozova. 



11. Globorotalia thebaica Said is a junior synonym of Globorotalia prolata Bolli. 



12. Globorotalia velascoensis (Cushman) is possibly Globorotalia formosa formosa 



Bolli. 



Said & Kerdany (1961) described the following planktonic Foraminifera from the 

 Maestrichtian-Lower Eocene succession of the Ain Maqfi section, Farafra Oasis, 

 Egypt : Globotruncana area (Cushman), G. cretacea Cushman, G. esnehensis Nakkady, 

 G. gansseri Bolli, G. rosetta (Carsey) ; Rugoglobigerina sp. cf. R. jerseyensis Olsson, 

 R. reicheli pustulata Bronnimann ; Globigerina eocaena Giimbel, G. sp. cf. G. quadrata 

 White, G. triloculinoides Plummer ; Globorotalia angulata abundocamerata Bolli, 

 G. colligera (Schwager), G. convexa Subbotina, G. esnaensis (Le Roy), G. imitata
