Note. The specimens found in Hungary reveal marked differences as compared to the holotype. They are smaller, their aperture and perforation are different, and the reticulate pettern is less well developed. The specimen depicted by Blow and Banner (1952) is similar to these. Occurrence. It has been found in the Oligocène horizons of the Buda Marl only. Occurs in the Kiscell Clay as well. It is possible that the specimens to be found in the Cylindroclavulina cylindrica Zone have been determined as Globigerina cf.officinalis on behalf of their calcitized test and sedimentfilled umbilicus.

9899, pl. K, H-K. Description. Test big, of three whorls. Dorsal surface convex. Four chambers in the early whorl, three in the last one. Chambers rapidly growing, tightly coiled, inflated. Last chamber usually somewhat more compressed than the others, semicircular. Sutures depressed, slightly arched. Umbilicus small, usually filled up by sediment. Aperture low, elongated arch at the lower part of the last chamber

; lower in the middle. No lip is visible. Test wall finely reticulate, the two chamber are usually smoother. The majority of the specimens possess a small abortive chamber. Note. Differences in comparison with Globigerina tripartita: higher trochospire, looser coiling, and different aperture. Occurrence. Present in all horizons of the Buda Marl and in the Kiscell Clay. Most abundant in the Cylindroclavulina
