MicAelini, (Album pal. de la Sarthe, 1867, pi. 10, fig. 21), previously named in his ' Essay, etc./1853. Two species have been described from Africa, namely, Sol. Bailyi, Gabb (Am. Phil. Soc, 1861, Vol. VIII, p. 95--Sol. pulcAellum, Baily, Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc, Lond., 1855, XI, p. 457, pi. 12, fig. 3, non idem d'Orbigny), and Sol. Vattoni, Coquand (Ge'ol. et Pal&mt., Prov. Const., 1862, p. 182, pi. 4, figs. 7-9). To the American Sol. Abyssine, Gabb, the same author lately added in the Pal. of California 1S64, Vol. I, p. 116, etc., four species, under the generic name of ArcAilectonica, namely, Sol. TeatcAii, cognatum, Hornii, and inornafum. The Sol. Jlexui-slrialum, E. and Shum. (Meek and Hayden) forms the type of the genus Margaritella and belongs to the Trocmd.e, because it has the internal shell pearly. From India a species of TROCaiD.-E was described by d'Orbigny (Pal. Astrol. pi. 4, figs. 9-11) as Sol. deperditum, which must be again excluded, but in its place we shall describe four new species, Sol. Arcotense, Kurribiemse, Coothoorense, and Vylapaudeme, which all belong to the uppermost beds of our cretacecus deposits; the two last-named species being rather common shells. c. Solariorbis.--I find this name in Conrad's Check lists of eocene and oligocene fossils, p. 13-14. There are four species mentioned, three of which were described by Lea in his contributions to Geology as Delphinida, Planaria, and Turbo. I really do not understand what the distinctive charactersf of the genus may be, for Lea's determinations do not seem to be in the least contradictory to his figures, and rather detailed descriptions. 2.
