RHJZOPODA. 
Prot. 14 
occupies a level not more than two feet above the tide-water of the Gulf. 
The fragments of molluscan remains found associated with these Num- 
mulites are chiefly referable to land and fresh-water genera, such as 
Glandina, Paludina, and Ampullaria , belonging to a period more recent 
than the eocene, and to species living at the present day. Remains of 
an Orbitoides , allied to 0. ephippium , an Upper-eocene type, are, however, 
occasionally met with in the same rock-fragments, a circumstance which 
leads to the decision that the rocks marked by this admixture of an older 
and newer fauna, and comprising both marine and fresh-water types of 
organisms, have derived their faunal character in great part from the 
deposits of a more ancient formation, which represents and is the equi- 
valent of a portion of the European Nummulitie, ,, whether eocene or 
oligocene.

pp. 1-56, 5 pis. 
2 new species of the genus Nebela, Leidy, N. bohemica and amei'icana, 
are figured and described ; also Corythion dubia t a new generic and 
specific form, allied to Trinema , but separated from that type with refer- 
ence to the structure of the test, which is composed of small oval plates, 
embedded in an altogether irregular manner within an amorphous chiti- 
nous basis.

rinthuloides, Archer. Q. J. Micr. Sci. (n. s.) xxii. pp. 30-34. 
After describing the characteristic resting condition of this organism, 
its affinities are thus summed up. Its semi-amoeboid character in the 
resting stage, and its exalted ammboid activity when mobile, might tempt 
one to refer it to the Thalamophora. Its cellulose wall, its red, green, 
and yellow colouring matter, make it seem rather referable to the Algae. 
On the whole, the author is inclined to regard it as a degenerate form 
from tlio Palmellaceous Algro, but one sufficiently aberrant to take place 
alone, and form the type of a new Order, Chlamydomyxida. 
Klein, J. Ueber Vampyrella. Bot. Z. xl. pp. 208-218, 1 pi. 
3 new species, Vampyrella variabilis, V. inermis, and V. pedata , are 
figured and described. All inhabit fresh-water, and were found asso- 
ciated with QEdogonium and other species of Confervse.
