like a Solenopora; th's character being not conirmed rn the case of this fossil, 

 I do not venture to assign it to any definite genus, though there is a great 

 probability that we have here a form of Solenopora or of its allies. 



Locality : — Neighbourhood of Hung-kuo-chi, Ta-kuan-ting, Chao-tung-fu, 

 prov. Yun-nan. 



Geol. age : — Devonian. 



Foraminifera. 



It is a rather striking fact that only a very limited number of the remains 

 of Foraminifera have hither;o been recorded from the Devonian rocks of the 

 world ; this is striking, because first the Foraminifera are very abundant in 

 the next younger Carboniferous rocks, and secondly because limestone is 

 common in the Devonian formation everywhere. Hence it deserves special 

 mention that a limestone from Kwei-lin, prov. Kwang-si, with AmpJiipora 

 rainosa, contains many small foraminifera remains, provisionally referable to 

 the genera Nodosaria and Liiv^nlma ; these are shown by the microphoto- 

 graphs on ?1. XXI. (Figs, i -3).
