Orbitolina concava Lamarck var. congesta Parker & Jones, 1860a Type reference. Parker & Jones, 1860a: 32, 38. No figure. Type locality. Recent; from Australia (area unspecified). Remarks. Not recorded in the Catalogue under either con- gesta or concava var. congesta. In the type description it is said to accompany O. concava var. vesicuiaris, but it might be difficult to tell these two varieties apart when studying an assemblage and clearly Jones, 30 years on, was unable to do so. Brady (1884: 718) considered congesta to be indistinguish- able from the loosely defined variety vesicuiaris, which he raised to specific level within the genus Gypsina. Further research is necessary to isolate this variety. Orbitolina concava Lamarck var. laevis Parker & Jones, 1860a Type reference. Parker & Jones, 1860a: 32, 38. No figure. Localities. Fossil; from the Tertiary of Palermo, Sicily; Bordeaux, France; and San Domingo, West Indies. Recent; from Australia, Fiji, West and East Indies, Mediterranean Sea, British Coast (as far north as the Isle of Arran). Remarks. Jones only records Gypsina globula, not laevis, from the Pliocene of Palermo (Sicily) (p. 136, ) P48194 and from the Miocene of San Domingo, (CXI. 14, 15, 24, 25) P48101-2, P48111-2. In the Recent Catalogue Gypsina laevis is listed from the British coast, the Dogger Bank (p. 19, ) 1894:4:3:123 and off Northumber- land ('Alnwick and Dogger'), (p. 20, ) 1894:4:3:124. None of these specimens is spherical or bears any resem- blance to Gypsina, as represented by the group including the varieties congesta and vesicuiaris, so I can only as
