cit. pp. 251 & 252. 
Lists of the Foraminifera of the Tertiary formations of Western 
France given by Gr. Vasseur, Ann. Sci. Geol. xiii. pp. 1-432, arranged 
according to strata. 
Genera, Species, &c., referred to. 
To the Protozoa, are appended by Romer (30), the Receptaculites 
and its allies, for "which a distinct family, Receptaculitidce, is formed, to 
include Receptaculites, Ischadiies, Cyclocrinus, Pasceolus, Archceocyathus, 
Tetragonis, and a new genus. Several of the species are figured. 
Dactyloporidce excluded by Butschli, (20) p. 227, from the Animal 
Kingdom. 
2 species of Nummulites and 1 of Orhitoides from a Tertiary deposit 
in Java mentioned by R. D. M. Verbeek, Verb. Ak. Amst. xxi. iii. p. 21. 
Nummulites. Munier-Chalmas is recorded as mentioning 4 species and 
2 Assilince, which he finds to be dimorphic ; Bull. Soc. Geol. (3) viii. p. 30. 
Endothyra. Steinmann, (31) p. 399, finds that in two species the shell- 
structure is not homogeneous, and pore-canals do not exist. 
Three other spp. of fossil Foraminifera figured ; id. 1. c. 
Cribrostomum, Von Muller, = Climacammnia, Brady ; (16) p. 54.

Barbados tripoli. 
Dictyospyris sphoera, Butschli, (21) p. 511, pi. xxxii. fig. 15, Barbados 
tripoli. 
Clathrocanium ? ehrenhergi, Butschli, (21) p. 515,’ pi. xxxi. fig. 18,

Pterocyrtidium, Butschli, (21) p. 531. Based on P. zitteli, id. 1. c. 
pi. xxxiii. fig. 28, fossil in Barbados tripoli, and on species of Pterocanium, 
Ehrenberg, &c. 
Geratocyrtis, Butschli, (21) p. 536. Formed to contain Cornutella mitra, 
cucullaris, ampliata, and perhaps circularis, Ehrenberg. The head, though 
well developed, is, in appearance, barely distinct from the next segment.
