The fossil described here is a brachygnatha crab from the Mioqene deposits ofYuda, Killtaiti-mura (l~ear Huk'uoka-lll,ati), Ninohe-g6ri, Iwa:fe Pr~fecture. Fromthe stratigraphy of the district as worlEed by Mr. Yanosuke O'l'UKAJ) in 1934:_ thohdri~~n from which the maferial came BeelUS to belong t~ OTUK.'\"S lower i{adonoEawa series and
Its geologicalage to' the Miocene. , .
t .
,The mat~rial consists of a 110qule of gray sandy mudstone, containing two
fossil crabs, fairly -~vell p~·esel\·e~ , ' the one 'lying abov~ th~ 6ther,\'th~ lower ' showi~g
its dorsal Bu;face and t.he upper its 'ventral surface'., A.lthough tl~e sex of the forme~'
is u;ucert~in, ' the -latt~r is' unmi~t~kab\y female. Both specil;;'en's belong to the same
species, ~:nd probabiy to ' .the geq~l s Scylla. They cl~sely re~emble Scylla se,1Tata(FOHSK.tI)~\ which is n~w distr~buted on the Japanese coasts -from Sagalui Bay ' toTai~an (Fo;'moEa), but differ slightly fro~ it in the ' aspe9ts of the carapace. The
writer thinks that the fo ssil sp-'e- cimens sholiJd n~t be identi'fied with Scylla 8e?';'ata,
believing it to be a new species , or a variety of it. Though the total Dumber ofspines at the anterior margin of the merus of the cheliped is unknown, the Dl'tmberof which is important in classifying this group of crab, the writer deems that thefos,·il specimens deserve a new name.

on bac:al part; merus also broad, bearing strong, quite ,obtuse spines on anterior
margin, but 0111y two of them visible. Length of caparace 39.5 mm., width 68.0
mm'" Paratype (Fig. 2). Abdomen rather large, consists of Eeven distinct segment~.~ sternum may a160 be c1early separated into eight tho.{,a cic somites; fourthso~ite correspond with cheliped, fifth .to eighth with ambulatory legs. These fivesomites divided symmetrically by median· groove; first and second Dot observable;
ambulatory legs fairly large, somewhat compressed, their distal extremities damaged;
mouth parts crushed and st.retched off the sternum, external maxilliped quite large.
Type specimens are preserved in the Seventh Middlo School of Tokyo.
Remarks :-Jlldging from the very natural position in which they were found,the creatures probably met instanta~eous death at the sea-bottom. These fossils': trollgl y resemble Scylla Se?Tata in having four rostrums and in the expandedcheliped, in the shape of the carapace, in the arrangement of the antero-lateral
1oeth, and in the short epibranchial spine. but are discriminated from this species
by th/~ ontline of the carapace. They are similar to some I3pecies of the genus
Portun1ls, especiaUy to P. t?'i!ube?'ctdatus MIERSl\ in the general outline of the carapac(', but the ep :branchial spine is not ('xtended, the proximal part' of the fOl~rth
mnbulatory l~g is much slender and the mel'lls of the cheliped is shorte~·.
The 'Y~iter wishes to express his warmest thanks to M('ssrs. .KOiti SUZUKI and
Fuyuji TAKAI for their kind advices and to Dr. 18ao TAKI for his loan of various
liwrature on the subject. Thanks are also due to Mr. Tatuzo 1WAHUNE, whose

Palaeontological Notes on Certain
Japanese .Scallops
By

Kotora M. RATAI and Syozo' ~ISIYAMA(The Institute of Geology and Palaeonto~ogy, Tohoku Imperial University,
Sendai, Japan, . Read Oct, 8 th ; and Receive'd Oct, 18 th, 1938) .'-In the ' present note the writers wish to give remarks on , certain JapallElSe 'species of fossil scallops, which are from the Neogene deposits -of the borderland_'Of the ~Fall: Sea in the ' maill, for two reasom, namely, because the specie'3 of thisgenus a-£.:o..; of much value in stratigraphy and correlation on the one hand, anctbecause hei r degree of variation and Dumber of species is remarkable on thoother.
H ere' the writers wish to record their warmest thanks to Prof. H. YABE of
the In stitnte of Geology and Palaeontology, T6hoku Imperial University, Sendai,
where the present work was undertaken, for kindly looking over and givip.g thewriters permi'3sion to publish this short Dote. Acknowledgements are due : to the
Saito Ho-onKai, Sendai, for the grant-in-aid, which has made, possible th.e observations and c9llectioDs from the regions of Kaga, Noto, and Etigo provinces ip. the
Hokurikti district of .the Japan Sea, during the spring vacation of 1938. 'In the Neogene deposits of Japan, the genus Pecten is very widely di stributed
both in :space and in time, for such reason, it has been considered to -be very important both stratigraphicallY and chronologically. In short some of its characteristic fc-atures can be outlined in the few sentences, namely, 1) in the Lmver N eogenf',
living species are outnumbered by the extinct ones, 2) in the Middle Neogene, thenumber of extinct species i'3 much lessened, and the number of living to the extinct
is not much different, 3) in the Upper Neogene the number of , species is still
lessened, due to the :..ctecrease in the number of extinct ones and to the small number'Of livirig ones, and, 4) as a result of the palaeontological observations on certain
8pe~ies to be dealt with in this short article, the writers in the summary, will givethe cha<~acteristics of the treated specie~ from a stratigraphical view and chronological consideration, as can be judged from the different types. And in the following, lines, the species will first be treated from a palaeontological view.
Among the species of .tecten, probably Pecten kim1L?'ai YOKOYAMA1 ) , originally·described from the uppermost part of the Zy6ban coal-field region, is one of themost widely di"ltl;".i bute'd \')4et one of the most confusing species when studied in detail.

This species was most. probably describe.d upon th(l specimens iIlmtrated on
Plate 4, Figures 1, 2, and 5; but since M. Y OKOY AjlfA has given no statem.ent as towhich of tho specim.ens is the type, one ca'!) · judge 011 ly from a comparisou of his
description ' with the illustrations. It 'may be noticed tha,t the specimen' figure ~ .
on Plate . 2, Figure 4, does' Dot agree with the description in it strict E'em:e, and also·th~t Qn pra te 4, Figures 3, 4, and 6, appear to_have the ears with au' orn~menta­tio)) differ €lli t from the description, arid the radial ribs show a tendency to bifur-,cation.; and Figure 4 on the same plate has the ribs differ ent from ·the description

From the foregoing reasons, the writer ' find tha t it ll1ay be best. to take the· 'specirne ns agreeing :with the drscription of M. YOl;::OYAMA a s the type. species, andto r egard the others as belonging to its subspecies or al10ther' form . 'F4us, acceptec1~

P lcimu?'ui ugo ensis has no longitudinal striae as stated to be present in the original P. kirmwai, and has no strong
radial ribs as stated to be present in P. mu?'ayamai, further it does not attain sucha large size as those species. In the shape of the radial ribs it seems. to be. interm ediate between P. lcirmwai and P. rmwayamai, while in surface sCulpttHe it 'leans

If the radial 13triae on th e backs of the ribs ' and on their flanks are taken tob e of the true P. kim'Lt?"ai, then the abundant specimens of fO Esil scallops from the. Kadonomwa beds!) of the Ninohe district, Iwate prefecture (Mutu province), may
belong her e. A typical specimens of P. kim'Lwai, a13 defined in the foregoing ·page,from the K adonomwa beds, takes the following description.
Shell of mo derate size, about 70 mm long and 78 mm wide, suborb icular, sub equila teral,
compressed, surface covered with indistinct concentric g rowth lin es and radial sculpture.
Right valve with about 8 primary ribs and 11 few subsidiary ones at sides. Ribs at beakregion na rrow, un bifurcated, nearly equal to interspaces in width, not hig h, rounded andsmooth ; at about ha lf shell length, ribs be~ome broader, develop longitUdinal striae on their:flanks, gently rounded, and straight; subsidiary rible~ s or striae begin to develop neal' threefourth s sh ell l eng th.- Ventral half of shell-length with ribs be comin g still broader, gently
rounded r ather :flatly, now wider than valleys; longitudinal st riae on :flanks and backs of'ribs ha rdly ra:sed, weak but distinct, about 2-3 on flanks and 2-5 on backs, most distin ct inmarginal portion of anterior and post erior sides of shell. No noduluous, scabrous or splittingof ·prima ry ribs indicated. Ears fractured, a pparently subequal and provided with 3 or morcs t riae, R inge-line' nearly -straig ht.

Characteristi c of this deEcrib d specimen are the low, very gently rounded:radial striae with s6veral longitudinal striae 011 both the backs and on the fla nksof the primar y ribs. These striae extend only a little beyond the mid-portion of
the shell-length . Also there is a typical bifurcation or splitting of the primaryribs, and scabrous sculpture is not recogniz6d.
Since the originally described P. lcim'Lt?"ai hag radial ribs and longitudinal
striae, probably the strengthening or weakening of the radial sculpture by degrees
would bring it clo .. e to some of the varietal forms of P. lcaga?nianus YOKOYAMA,2)a specie.. originally described from Miocene deposits in Ishikawa prefecture (Kagaproviuce). P. kagam ianus has radial ribs and lon gitudinal striae 01; riblet s on thebacks and flank s as well as in the valleys. It appears significant that the present
one ha .. a smaller number of radial ribs and le.. s distinct 10Dgitudii:lal striae which
are less developed, fewer in number, and roh ow no such sculpture as fonnd in thatspecies. However, since the left valve of the deEcribed specimen from the Ninohe. district is now lacking from the same locality, its comparison with that of F.

kagamian1ts cannot be made at this place, although it appears that the numberof the radial ribs is much less and shows a different kind of 8culpture. In general,
it may be Eaid that the typical P. kim1t'rcti has a shell -with 8IDooth smface, mdial.
rib'3 of lo,v and gently rounded nature and is provided with both concentric growthlines and longitudinal striae. The radial st.riae are never strong, raised or broken-into smaller sculpture or rough nature by the inter section of the concentric growthlines, but remain quite smooth. I n P. kagamian.us, it is well known that the 'small
radial striae or riblets are one of the major features of the sh ell sculpture. Thesemajor features of P. lcagamian1ts / ) serve in distinguishing it from its allied species.
P. mumyamai is distInguished from P. lcimU1'ai by havillg no radial striae on
the ribs of the r ight valve, the ribs of the right valve are more elevated and rigid
in stead of l~w and gently or flatly rounded, or ge'n tly undl~lated as in P. lcimu?'ai,and ' the valves are nearly equally convex instead ' of llnequally convex as in thatspecies. P. lcim~t?'ai 'I.~go ensis differ s from both of the mentioned species in having'a 8maller shell , wit h no radial striae, gently rounded flattish radial ribs and subequal convexity of the valves. I n fact, ;it leans towards P. lcimumi in certain
features and to P. mumyamcti iu others, thus, it is no doubt a n intermediate form
between them . In P. lcir/n~mi 'l.tg oe?l si s there are no radial striae on the ribs 0 '1' inthe valleys or -even ou t he flanks of t he primnr y r~b'3 which are low a nd gently
undulating on the right valve as in P. lcimum i , and shows Do bift,ucation or spiitting of t h em. Also the valves are nearly equally co nvex as in P. ?n1wayamai.
As to th e geological age of th e aforemeil tioned species, it is r ecognized thatP. lcagam i anus is confin ed to the Miocene, a nd most probably does not extend
beyond t h e upper Miocene, being most preda'minant and characteristic in t h e middle
part. P. lcimumi is fon nd from the middle Miocene to uppermost Miocene andpossibly into lower most Pliocene. P. lci m v?'ai 1tgoensis is a typical Miocene mem ber and probably does no t exist in the upper Miocene, while in the middle partit seems t o be fairly common. P. m~wayamai extends from the Miocene probably
in to the lowermost of the Pliocene.
I n regard to the interesting r elationship thought to exist between the two inter esting ,'callops, P. lcagamianus2 ) and P. s-hataii 'N OMURA ':!) a further additionalnote should be given . 4) I n the foimer occasion it was stated that the relation 'existing between tho mentioned scallops was probably an interesting case of variation or evolution produced as a result of mi gration followed by aaaptation andlocalization or difference in latitnde. However, it should be stated at this place,t.hat if the stratigraphical horizons of the beds which have yielded that two species ,turn out by future studies to be slightly different, it may be that a case of mutaM.

P eninsula. The characters of the sh ell r eadily serve in 4istinguishing it from anyof the known allied ,'pecies from Japan.
Anoth e'r interesting fo, sil which was collected from Noto province, is Pecten
lcu?'osawensis YOKOYAMA/) a species which was first de~cribed by M. YOKOYAlIfA from
Kurm:awa in the Akita Oil-field, Ugo province. The present "pecimcns were foundembedded i n a coarse sandstone of a cliff behind Zyunityo "\Tillage near Himi-mati.
No other sp ecies wer e found in association with it, where it oCCurs abundantly,
but at ahother locality ncar the one above mention ed, Hernilhy?'is psittacea (GMELIN), was .found.
The original description of this species is as follows :Shell rather small, orbicular, of moderate thickness, compressed, radiately ribbed. Ribs
twenty-seven to thirty-twu, straight, rigid, w;th intel'spaces varying in breadth, sometimes equitl,
sometimes narrower, sometimes bl'oade~·. One of the specimens is covered with a fine mesh-likestructure. Ears unequal, with a few radiating riblets. Byssal notch shallow; rounded.
Probably P. 1c1.l?'osa~ue nsis is a species which flouri sh ed well in the Pliocene
and upper Mio cene of Japab, as it seem s to be rare in middle Pliocene or middle
Miocene of J apan. Further, it appear s that the geological age of occurrence of
this species is not much differ ent, especially wher e it can be ::aid to have luxuriantly
flourish ed.
.
At the type 10yality 01 this species, Kuro::awa
in the outskits of Akita city, Ugo province, as
shown in the t ext-figure, the number of individuals'
which can be found in the small exposure is rem arkable. In fact the numher is so great that good
sp ecimen s ar e generally obtained by spoiling other s.
The size of th e sh ell, individual number, degree ofdevelopment of the specimen s from the type locality ,seem to point to the fact that this period was its A photograph taken at Kurosawa,time of m axir:p.um development, and then after or the type locality. In the middle isseen conglomeratic sandstone, andprior to that time of the age of thi s type locality, above is sandy shale.

In the above lable the abbrE;viation of UL jMP stands for the alternation beds,"vhich belung stratigraphically to the overlying sedimentaries but in age possibly
to the Miocene, this is the transitional formation of the writers.
Since definite Upper Miocene deposits are not well known, the writers provisionally includo into the transitional beds, the deposits which may b ~come Upper Miocene in age. 'W ith such procedure, it is found that where P. kagam.iamMf

P. kimumi and P. m1t1'aya,m ai find their upper limit in the age where P. tokyoensis findD its lowest limit. In short the above table shows that in the chronological distribution of the mentioned f'peci es of scallops, there is found s6veral'irriportant featnree, such as, 1) overlapping in succession, 2) extinction in succession, 3) extinction at eq ual levels, and 4) appearance at equal levels but extinction
at different and the Eame levels.

Tetsugor6 VVA K DlIZU from the loess a t T singsing and Shihkiachwang (the socallcd" redeposited loess" ?), both in H opei Province.
The material from T singsing compiises only' 1.hree species afJ folloWFi : B?'adybaencL (lll{anchu?' oheli~~) laV?'llShini (COCKERELL) (2 ::,p ecimens)
Cathaica fasciola (DRAPARNAUD) (4 specimens)
Calhaica pulve?'at'l'ix (von MARTENS) (2 sp ecimen s)
B?'adybaena lavrushini still lives ill this district and the two sp ecies of Cathaica
are most common snail s in North China, both fossil and liv.ing. The state ofpreservation of the fo ssils is very excellent.
The collection from Shihkiachwang contains t hree species of fre.h-water gastropods and two of land snails, as listed below: Lyrmwea (Galb a) pe rvia von MAR'l'ENS . (a bout 10 specimens)

All the speci Js are now widely distributing throughout North China. }'1Jstof the specimc-ns before hand are not well pre3e~ Veld.
The detailed synonymy, the dimensions, the recent distribution and the fos"il
occtlrrence of each, pecies are showll in the foregoing pages . . Further, a tentative
correlation table of the Cenozoic formations in North China and Manchuria isgiven on page 92, detailed discussion of which, however, will be reserved for anotheroccasion.
The results of the taxonom.ic studies are summarise'd as follows : 1) L-imnaea (Gttlna1'ia) shantungensis JONES and PRESTO~ (1904), Limnaea
kingi PING and YEN (1933), LimnaecG tnmcatula ienua PING aud YEN (1933) and
Galba laticallos~f01'mis YEN (1937) are all synonym;; of Lymnaea (Galba) pe1'via
von MAR'l'ENS. The specimens of Lymnaect from South Ordos being referred to
Galba, t1''Lmcatula (MULLER) by YEN (1937) are also idontifiable with p e1'via, while
Limnaea exigua PING a ud YE (1933) described from Ak. ·u evidently belongs to
Lymnaea (Galba) tnmcatula (l\ILULLER).
2) LiTnnaeus chefouensis CU:SSIN (1886), Limnq,eus m6llendo1:tJian'LGS CLESSIN(1886), f ,imnaea ma1'S Jmms and PRESTQN (1904) and Limnaea 'LUhct1'toni JONES and
PRESTON (1904) may bp. synonymous with Ly1nnaea (Radix) plicat1da BENSON .
Furthrr, the specimem; from T ai-hu being assigned to Limnaea clessini NEUilfAYER by ANNANDALE (1918) undoubtedly belong to plicatula, and the shells referred
to cl essini by YEN in his recent paper (1937) on gastropods of North China seem.
more closely relat d ,to plicatula than to NEUMAYER'S species.
In t h e RyukYll I slands, there is inhabiting a form of Lymnaea which can hardly
be distinguished frOl~ plicatula. Many Japanese authors have referred it to Li11'l,nctect mino1' BENSON, but thi, ' identification TIoes not Reem reliable. In his description of ro,ino1't BENSON ha, given neither its iliustration nor dimensions andhas stated that it strongly resembles Lyrnnctect (Gctlba) tnmcat1tla (MULLER). This
species has never been reported from th e Asiatic Continent, since it was firstdescribed from the Chu 'an I slands .
. 3) Opeas fmgilis PING (1929), a fossil specie,' from the Chouk6utien formatioD,
is nothing but a synonym of Opects PY1'Y1da SCHilfACKER and BOET'l'GER.
4) A deta iled description of B1'adybaena lawushini (COCKERELL) is given by
I fO ao TARI in a paper entitled" Mollusca of J ehol " (Report of the First Scientific
Expedition to Manch oukuo, section 5, divi sion 1, part I, article 4) which will b e
published in the near future. A new subgenus, ftilanclnwoheli.r, is proposed byhim for this species basing upon the shell characters and the compo,'ition of thegenital system.
,..
~5) Gathaiw tmnsitans von MOLLENDORFF may be understood as an extremityof the indivjdual variation, 01' at most as· a subspec ies, of Gathaiect fasciola (DRAPARNAUD).
6) According to von MOLLENDORFF (1899) and ANDREAE (1911), Helix schensieTl sis HILBER (1882) , H elix bizonct GREDLER (t884) and H elix bizona schensiaca
GREDLER (1884) are synonyms of GatllCtica p1l.lvemt?·ix (von MARTENS).

YEN has r ecently (1935) ' d'e scribed Oathaica p~lrlveratrix (von MARTENS), C. pulvemt?'ix conispim YEN, C. teilha?'di YEN and C. ?'Obe?'tS b YEN from South Odos
and C. schensiensis (HILBER) from Honan ·and Shansi Provinces . . However, theyshould be united into a single specie!", C. pnlvemt?'i:c (von MARTENS).
7) ]letodontia tekodon (von MOLLENDORFF) may be a synonym of ]letodontia
yantaiensis (CROSSE :;Lnd DEBEAUX), though the former has generally been considered
to be a subspecies of the latter.
The fossi l specimens from F enho, Schensi Province, which have been r eferredby PING (1931) to Metodontia yantaiensis tet?'odon, seem to belong to 111etoaontia
hO~Laiensis (CROSSE).

V ery r ecently Mr.· "\Vataru I-lASIMO'l'O, a graduate of OUI' Institute, collected
two interesting fossi ls of the h ydractinoid H ydrozoa from Marinduque, Philippine
I slands. Qne : them is fro m a dark g rey limeston of Cabuyo Barrio, 'rl'ijos,
Marin·duque. Though fragmental, it exhibit,· very characteristic features reminding
us strong ly of the genus Ci1'copom, which ViToWAAGEN and J. 'WENTZELI ) establish ed
in 1887 on Ci?'copo?'Ct f ctveolata W . & W., from the Middle P?'odndus limestoneof the S~lt Range, I ndia; for a while it is referred to the ::ame genus with query.
The 9ther is derived from a conglomer[l,te bed exposed a long the Hinalogan river,Boa,c, Marinduqu,e. In its superficial aspect it is more or l ess sim,ilar to Ellip.sactinia STEINMANN2' , 1878,' with the genotype Ellipscwtinia ellipsoiclea S'l'EINM~\'NN
from the Tithonian o~ Stramberg, Moravia, but the two diverge in some essential
details and cannot be generically identical, as wilL be explained below, and a newg enus Philippinactinia is proposed for t.he Philippine H yd rozoa.
At this p lace we wish t o express OUI' sincere thanks to }.~r. H AsIilIOTo for his]{ind offer of these fossils to our study.

Excluding growth form, the present fossil has its coenosteum similar y built
as in Ci1·copom. While the coenosteum is always cylindrical and built of concentric lamellae arranged. in ver y regDJar manner in the typical and other speciesof this genus, it is thick laminar in growth with its concentric lamellae undu lated
arranged not mnch regularly, and bearirrg round pores relatively few in nu mberin the present form. According to \ iVAAGEN and WENTZE.L, Ci1'copom has verticalelements alfio perforated, but this seems not to be the case in our form. I n addition to these structura.l differences of coenosteum, there .is wide gap of geologicalage between 1he present form and those fossils hith erto recorded of Ci1'copom,

is thus only provisional.
The present fos.'il stands neare.. t to Ci7'copo1'a fav eolata than to any othor

81 . Notes on Some Foraminifera Described by Schwager
from ' the Pliocene 'of Kar Nicoba r 'x,
By
JOSEPH A. CUSHMAN '(Received November 30~h; read December 17th, 1938)

In his work on th e " Fossile Foraminiferen von Kar-Nicobar" (Novara-Exped.,
GeoL .Theil, voL II, 1866, pp. 187- 268, pIs. IV- VII) SCHWAGER described andfi gured many species from the Plioc€me.. SomB. of these specieB are recognized in
the later literature while others have hardly been r eferred to or have been placrd
in the synonymy of other species. A small amount of rather fine material has
been made avaihible for study, coining from the locality froni which SCHWAGER\;. material was described. ' As these are topotypes it is possible to interpret some ofthe ),pecies described by SCHWAGER a little more accurately than from his figures~md description alone. T he following notes are given for a few of the spe cies~
The figures have boen drawn by Miss Patricia G. EDWARDS from the topotypes.

No dosct1'ia jistttm SCHWAGER, Novara-Expecl., Geo1. Theil, vol. II, 1866, p. 216, pI. 5, figs. 36, 37.

The original figures show 5pecimens with the chambers uniserial ap.d arranged
in a linear ser;ies, rapidly increasing in diameter as added and the base 'with an
initial spine. The chamber s are longer than broad and distinctly overlap. The
surface' as shown is hispid or spinose and if the two original ,f igures r epresent
one species, subject to considerable variation. The aperture is extended with adistinct neck with a collar-like expansion at the outer end. The aperture has adistinct tooth in the opening.
From a study of this material the specie,' should be known as Ellipsonodosa?'ia.~stuca (SCHWAGER) based on the character of the aperture as is also the case .withfome of the following species. The distinction between this species as represented
by figure 1 on our plate and the series shown in figures 4-6 is not great, thechambers being somewhat different in shape and the apel'tural characters still mOI'e
clistinct.

following chambers several time's as long as broad. The wall has several high,plate-like, longitlldinal costae about six in number, crossing the sutures usually
without a break, those of the proloculum and second chamber often somewhat
twisted. SCHWAGER mentions in his description that the apertural characters are
unkown. Our specimens do not show them nor do any of the other figured
sp ecimen s referred to this species. Material from the later T er tiary of widely
separated areas have been referred to SCHWAGER'S species but until the apertural. characters are k nown it is difficult to definitely place it generically.

PI. 10 (6), Figs. 3a, b.
N odosaria lepidula SCH WAGER, 1. C., p. 210, pI. 5, figs. 27, 28.

The two figures referred by SCHWAGER to this species are somewhat different
but in general represent a species with pyriform chambers, enlargin g rath er rapidly
as added, thB middle of each chamber wi th short spines in the early portion, 'gradually changing to short, longitudinal costae in the adult, althoug h in OlIe of
SCHWAGER'S original figures the chambers become smooth. A specilnen figured
on our plate has the general characters corresponding to SCHWAGER'S species. Thebase h as a distinct spine which is developed up and along the proloculum. The
apertural character s ar e interesting. There is a short neck with a sort of expanded
collar as sh own in SCHWAGER'S figure but tho aperture is not radia te . but circularwith a distin ct tooth in the opening. The species sh ould be know as EUipsonodosa?'ia .lepidula (SCHWAGER),
Specimens have been' r eferred to this specific name from the Pliocene of Japan,
New Guinea, Java and the Philippines, and R ecent material from the Pacific area
especially.

Plate 10 (6), Figs. 4- 6.
N oclosa1·ia glandigena S CHW AGER, I. C., p. 219, pI. 5, fig. 46.

Our three figures show a ~erifls in which the surface ranges from smooth andpolished to decidedly hispid, or even finely spinose. Such specimens from theliterature seem to be rather indi ..criminately placed under both " Noclosa?'ia glandigena SCHWAGER" and" N. koina SCHWAGER". It is possible that the specimens
figured by SCHWAGER u nder these two specific names really form ' a single series.
An examination of the literature .shows all these forms recorded from the later
T ertiary of the Pacific region especially! and from the R ecent of the same area.
The microspheric form s ar ~ much more tapering, and in the m egalospheric the!lnal cp.ambers may be even less in diameter than the earlier ones. An examination 6f the aperture shows that it is circular with a slight tooth and the sp ecies
should probably be known as Ellipsonodosa?'ia glandigena (SCHWAGER).

Ucige1'ina h'ispicia SCllWAGER, 1. c., p. 24.9, pI. 7, fig. 95.

The original figure of thi.s species shows an apparently ver y spinose specimen
but the description gives the impression that the surface is )Dore fitti ng to thespecific name. The.r e is a tendency among the specimens studied to h ave the laterchamber loosely spiral as shown in oUl~ fi g ure 7. The aperture is distinct witha fihort cylindrical neck. Such specimens have been r ecorded very rarely under
thi,' name probably on account of the ver y spinose appearance of the type figur e.
Specimens have been recorded by KOCH from th e late T ertiary of Java and I h aver ecorded specimens from the Pliocene of Viti levu, Fiji (Bernice P . Bishop Museu m,
Bull. 119, 1934, p. 126, pI. 15, fig. 9) which seem to be typical. Ii will probably
be 'found to be well distributed in the late Tertiary of the Pacific region andperhap, ' elsewhere.

U'Vige'l'inct nil-iclttlct SCHWAGER, l. c., p . 248, pI. 7, fi g. 93.

Specimens have been very rarely referred to this fipecios . . KOCH has recorded
it from t.he late T ertiary of Java and I have had it from the Pliocene of VitilevLl,
Fiji. It is a species with distin ct chambers and sutures, the apertural neck prominent but slender and easily broken. The surface is covered with low, longitudinal costae, well separated from one another. It is probab le that thi s species
has a much wider range in the late r Tertiary of the Pacific r egion than is indicated by the few records add it may also be found to be living in t.ho Prcific.
SCHWAGER'S figure of U. gemmaejo?'?nis does not show the ap8rtural character s
and is drawn in rear view. It is possible that it may r epresent the same specIes
as U. nitidtda·.

This is a rather well marked species, fusiform in shape, with a ver y distinct,
somewhat tapering, elongate neck. The whole test is somewhat short alid broad
and the later chambers especially, inflatod and distinct. The surface ' is finely
hispid.
Such specimens OCCllr in the late Tertiary, recorded , from .(he. islands of · thePacific and fr om the coast of Ca lifor nia. It also occurs as a living s.pecies in the
Pacific. Our fi'g ured specimen shows an extremely rough specimen with the .surface's pinose rather tha11 hispld. The .range of coarseness of th0 surface is.considera.ble,

" Diino?phina striata SCHWAGER"
PI. 10 (6). Fig. 9.

Dimorphina striata SCHWAGER, I. C., p. 251, pI. 7, fig. 99.

Undpr this name SCHWAGER figures and deEcribes· a very slender, elongate
species, triserial in the young stages and uniserial in the adult, with a terminal
aperture, elongate neck and phialine lip. The initial end has u. distinct spine andthe surface is finely costate longitudinally. While no perfect specimens wert?
found in our limi.ted amount of material, the .specimen figured on our plate isevidently. thei3ame as that of. SCHWAGER and serves to place it in its proper
generic position. It should be known as Siphogene?'ina str,iata (SCHWAGER).
From an examination of the literature it is very evident that mOf3t, if notall, of the specimens referred by later aut.hors to this species are not really ident.ical with it but belong to the varietal form I have called var. C'l.lrta with a very
short neck (proc. U. S. Nat. Museum, vol. 67, Art. 25, 1926, p. 8, pl. 2, fig. 5;
pI. 5, figs. 5, 6). It is possible that this form with the short neck and large
aperture is specifically distinct.

F1issurina staphll11earia SCHWAGER, J. C., p. 209, pI. 5, fig. 24.

Our figure shows a specimen with five spines rather than three ai? in the
typical but all in a single plane. Various forms have been assigned to this species.
It apparently has an integral tube and should be krlown as Entosolenia staphyllearia (SCHWAGER). It is well distributed in the later Tertiary of the Pacificregion and living in tho same general area.

PI. 10 (6), Fig. 11.

Plett?'ostcmella alternans SCHWAG~;R, I. C., p. 238, pI. 6, figs. 79, 80.

Under this name SCHWAGER figures two sp~cimens, the first evidently microspheric with a pointed initial end;. ~any chambers; those in the adult rather shortand inflated, and the apertural face nearly circular. The second is evidently
megalospheric with a rounded initial end, few chambers; 'those in the adult longer
than broad and not greatly inflated, and the apertural face longer than broad. It·
is possible that these represent extreme forms of one species. In our material
and 'in other' available material from the same general region there are specimensthat seem to fill in the gap between these two extremes and make it apparent thatthey may all represent a single species. Our figured specimen is of the morecommon form represented by SCHWAGER'S figure 80.
There have. been many things r(·ferred to this species but a study of theliterature will show that many of them are not ideT,ltical. In the Ohallenger
report BRADY figured two quite distinct forms under ~1;lis name an;d later authors~42,..,•Foraminifera Described by S CHWAGER fro!:rf:· the Pli ocene of K ar Nicobar

While SCHWAGER g ives but a single figure'cf sp ecimen for th e species, thematerial at our di spoEal sh ows that there may be considerable variatioll. Our
figures show the ra nge in f orm from the very broad, megalospheric for m to themore elongate and more ~lender microsph~~'ic one. The ge~81'al shape of the adultcham ber in all three specimen s is very similar, as is the apertural face.
There are numer~ous :record s for th~ species put only those from 'the R ecent
and late T ertiary of the Pacific r egion seem to be identicaL with those from K ar

This form is. fairly common in the K ar Nicobar materia l. It is closely alliedt o Globo1'otalia mena1,dii (D'ORBIGNY) a nd seems · to be a variety of that species.
Two specimens are figured on our plate. The form has a thicker wall and margin
than in the typical an d it is uuiformly smaller th an the aver age of a large seriesof typical G. mena1'clii from the Pacific a nd elsewh ere. Ther e ar e normally six
or seven cham bers in the adult whorl and the aperture is smaUer. , It may beknown as Globo1' otalic6 mencwdii (D'ORBIGNY), val'. sacha1,i.na (SCHWAGER). The
variety occurs in the Pliocen e of ·the Pacific region and perJlaps has persisted lTI
the present ocean although r ather typical G. mena1·dii occurs .in the Pacific.

siom; of the sudace both on the dorsal and .ventralsides arl3 large~ a nd less uniform,
the chambers not nearly as distinct and the sutures very jndifltinct. , This is a

have had the 'Fame ~pecies from tho Pliocene of Viti levu , Fiji (Bernice P. Bishop

the gE'nus Acc?'vulina are very common in the warm and shallow waters of the
Pacific, Atlantic, I ndian, and Mediterranean and its fossil examples a r e also common ly found in various deposits of the Neogene, ther e is apparently no r ecord of
its occurrence as a fossil iD deposits older than t.h e Cretaceous,!) and its discovery
in a Jurassic rock of Japan is important and noteworthy.
.
The fossil now in. question is no~ comon in the Torinosu limeston e, and wehavc met with only on e r:,pecimcn of ,it in num,ei'ou,' thin slices of the rock. It isintergrown with calcareous algae and 16 mm in size, r esembles ACe7'vulina inhae?'ens
SCHULTZB (including val'. plana CARTERP in every respect. The latter is attached
to a certain substratum alJd over -growIng itself, consists of numerous chambers inmore or less concentric arrangement around a coiled nucleoconch, later irregularly
disposed, moreover 'uperposed in vertical lin es as to make successive layers. The
chambers are variable in size even in o,ne and the same specimen, a:cd also variablein form, usually polygonou s with straight edges, sometimes round or irregular withcurved (·dges i n tangential section; depressed, nearly r ectangular in t ranSVErse scction; typically the roofs and floors of thc chambers which are cl'ibrated by muneron s por es are convE'X, curved downward along their peripheries, though u suallyflat at tops. Tho verticnl walls of the chambers are compact and as thick as the. roofs and fioorf'. Compared with Acervtdina inhae?'ens SCHULTZE, the present form
stauds close to the latter in every r espect as already m entioned. But, in tangential
section the vertical wall of chambers are always sinuous and 12-16 fJ, thick in thelatter being r emarkably thicker than in the form er. Moreover, the roofs and floorsar e never vaulted. As sho,,,n in the following table the chambers of the present
form is much inferior in height to those of A ce?'vnlina inlwe?'ens SCHULTZE. Ther efore, I propose a new name huzirnotoi .for the present form in honour of Dr. H.
HUZIMOTO, who fo:u nd the present specimen, and place it as a variety of Ace?'vulina

By

Seido I NDO[Read and received Dec. 17 th, 1938]

The collection of fossil plants which form the basis of the present article wasmade by Prof. K. Y AhlAGUCHI of the Matne High School and kindly forwarded byhim to tho writer for study. The bulk of the material is from a white diatomaeeous
tuffite which is exposed at the river-cliff of the Honna-gawa at the south of Gotanda,
Yosida-mura, Kagosima-gun, Kagosima-ken , southern Kyusyu, while smaller lotsof specimens are from the six other localities in the same prefecture, enumerated
below; as to the occurrence of the fossiliferou'3 deposits Y kMAGUCHI informed thewriter as follows ;Table L

Notwithstanding a considerable numb<!r of fossil samples examined, the species
discrimi?-ated of them are few as follows, and it shows the fossil flora is very simples

The plant bed of the Honna-gawa is richly diatomaceous and contains such•forms as
Oyclotella cf. comta (EHRENBERG) KUTZ
Oyclotella cf. striata GRUM.

Epithemia cf. hyndmamlii'V. SM.
Synedra sp.

These are the forms common in the Pleistocene Siobara plant beds' of Siobara
Spa in Totigi-ken alid the Pleistocene diatomaceous earth of Enda-mura., Katta-gun,
Miyagi-ken, both in northern Honsyu.
Among the tree leaves, those of Fagus C1'enata outnumber of others partaking
over 90 % of the total specimens examined, and the original forests which havesupplied fossil remains to the plant beds ~an be regarded as almost pure beech
forests. The tree Fagus C1'enata1) is now exist in the mountains of Kyusyu and is
growing at the altitude of about 1000 m. or 'more; it does not at present exist in1) WATANABE, F.: Grundsiitzliches iiber die Buchenwald-wirtschaft Japans. V. Mitteilung.

enjoys now luxuriant growth in the Ofb condition s of Koppen climatic formula,Ilwhile the fossil localities mentioned above are in hi, ' Cfa climatic field ; it involves
therefore a climatic change from Cfa to Ofb occured there between the geologicaldate indicated by the fossil flora and the present day.
Now as. to the geological age of the fo ssil flora, ther e is almost no doub t about
its being Pleistocene in age, because it consists entirely of living species and there
is none which finds itself living in a remote land only and it shows a climate
fairly colder thaI! the present day climate of the district.
Fag'1.LS C?'enata is very common in the younger Tertiary and Pleistocene depositsof Japan,2) and ther~ are a great many material stored in the Institute of Geology
