Page 24 - Very gradually the tropical members of the flora disappeared ; that is to say, they migrated, formest of their types, I think, actually survive at the present day, many but very slightly altered. Then the sub-tropical members decreased, and the temperate forms, never quite absent even in the middle eocenes, preponderated. As decreasing temperature drove the tropical forms south, the more northern must have pressed closely upon them. The northern eocene, or the temperate floras of that period, must...
Page 27 - Test ellipsoidal or ovoid to cylindrical, rounded at the base, slightly produced at the apertural end ; chambers rounded almost as long as broad, arranged in a nearly triserial series, each succeeding chamber removed much farther from the base, rarely becoming almost uniserial in the last chamber; sutures but little depressed, generally distinct; wall smooth, thick, often with fistulose tubes; aperture radiate. Length 0.60 mm.
Page 38 - ... triangular in cross section, early portion tapering, adult portion with the sides nearly parallel and straight : chambers numerous, arranged triserially ; sutures not depressed, often slightly limbate; sides of the test flattened or very slightly concave; peripheral angles rounded; aperture slightly elongate at the base of the inner margin of the last-formed chamber ; wall finely punctate. Length 1 millimeter or less.
Page 49 - ... at the inner margin of the last-formed chamber on the ventral side, covered with a thin lip, wall smooth, slightly perforate.
