thin perpendicular plates ; the corallites are separated by varying 
distances, but usually less than that of their diameter. Calices 
circular (6-5 mm.) or elliptic (7x6 mm.), shallow. Columella of — 
intertwisted trabecule in various degrees of compactness, but 
always more or less vesicular, about 1:25 mm. diameter. Septa 
not exsert (margin apparently entire), 18 to 21, those of the 
fourth cycle only slightly projecting into the interseptal spaces ; 
the faces of the septa of the other cycles are distantly granulated, 
the granules are large and disposed in linear series on oblique 
faintly defined ridges; the principal septa of the cycles are con- 
tinued on to the ccenenchyma as feeble ridges. The interseptal 
loculi are transversely septate at intervals of about 1 mm. 
Kocene : Table Cape. 
I venture to describe this species as new, for I am unable to 
compare it with all known species, because of its well-developed 
dissepiments. This is the first occurrence of a reptant Astreid 
in our Tertiary, though Scolangia, Ten.-Woods, is recorded from 
the correlated Ototara formation in New Zealand. 
Class RHIZOPODA. 
Genus Fabularia. 
This genus of Foraminifera, hitherto represented uniquely by 
F.. discolithes, Defr., in the Eocene of Paris and Egypt, is repre- 
sented in the Miocene beds at Muddy Creek by & Howchini, 
Schlumberger, described in Trans. Roy. Soc., South Austr., 1891, 
p. 346.
