CRETACEOUS FORAMINIEERA & ARTIIROZOA 
boss. Suri'ace more or less distinetly granular and sub-tubercular, finely porose. 
The chambers iu the middle layer are concentrically arranged round a large nuclear 
cell ; they are anastomosting with neighbouring chambers in the same series 
as well as with those belonging to the previous and subsequent circles ; these 
chambers are squarish on the section, and their thickness varies from one-fifth to 
one-tenth of the total thickness. The cells in the superimposed layers are consi- 
derably smaller, depressed ; on a vertical section their ranges are perpendicular, ox- 
very nearly so, to the horizontal centi-al layer, and their number varies from four to 
twelve ; generally they are not equally numerous on the two sides. 
Prof. Reus s, who has described the internal structure of this species in great 
detail, has not been able to observe the communication of the cells belonging to 
the same concentric series. This connection is veiy clearly seen on two sections 
made of Indian specimens, and I have also observed it on two other sections of 
Maastricht specimens; it is exactly the same as observed by Carpenter in tertiary 
species of the genus. (Comp. Quart. Jour. Geol. Soc., Eond., 1850, vol. vi, p. 32, etc.). 
Localities. — Ninnyoor, in nUite limestone; Chokanadapooram, in a pinkish 
earthy limestone. 
Formation . — Arrialoor group. 
Orb. Faujasi is one of the most common Eoraminifers in the Senonien beds at 
Maastricht ; it has also been found on the island Rxigen, at Aachen, and various 
other places of Germany and Prance (Royan, Lanquais, etc.).
