the upper part of the Clavulina Szabói beds of Budapest France) in Middle and Upper Eocene (SZTRÁKOS 2000). (HANTKEN 1875a-b) in the Kiscell Clay, Upper Kiscel- Ecology — The species may range from the neritic Ban. It is metioned also from the Adour basin (SW to the bathyal zone.

— HANTKEN, p. 29, pl. Ill, fig. 15. 1962b Dentalina gigantea HANTKEN — MAJZON, pi. XXXI(III), fig. 15. Lectotype — M.01.15. Type locality — Budapest, Kis-Sváb-hegy. Type level — Buda Marl Formation, Upper Priabonian. Material — One specimen. Dimensions — Length 2.6 mm, width (on the last chamber) 0.8 mm (broken). Diagnosis — Test is large elongate, and uniserial. Chambers are cylindrical, the proloculus is followed by chambers, slightly increasing but gradually. The sutures can be seen, horizontal, depressed. The wall is calcareous, hyaline, unornamented. The aperture is terminal, radiate. Remarks — The species differs from Dentalina berculea GÜMBEL, 1868 (S. 43, Taf. 1, Fig. 34) in the width and height of the chambers. A single broken specimen remained in the Hantken collections in Hungary. Stratigraphical range — Nodosaria gigantea is rare in the lower part of the Clavulina Szabói layers (HANTKEN, 1875a-b) at Buda (Buda Marl Formation), Upper Eocene. Ecology — The species may ranges from neritic to bathyal zone. part part Nodosaria karreri HANTKEN, 1868 (Plate V: 5) 1868 Nodosaria Karreri n. sp. — HANTKEN, p. 85, pl.

Dimension — Length: ca. 1 mm (HANTKEN 1875a-b). Diagnosis — Test is elongate, rounded in section. It consists of four or five chambers, only. Its spherical proloculus is followed by ovate chambers. Sutures are horizontal, distinct. Wall is calcareous, hyaline, finely perforate, unsculptured. Aperture is rounded and it can be found on a short neck. Remarks — No specimen remained in the Hantken collections in Hungary and no specimen has been found recendy. SZTRÁKOS (1978, 1979) figures differ from the original in absence of the neck. Stratigraphical range — N. karreri is rare in the upper part of the Clavulina Szabói layers (HANTKEN 1975a, 1868, Budapest, Újlak). It occurs in the Middle Eocene - Aquitanian in the Aquitaine basin (CUVTLLIER & SZAKÁLL 1949).

Type level — Kiscell Clay Formation, late Kiscellian. Material — One specimen. Dimension — Length 0.8 mm, width 0.2-0.3 mm. Diagnosis — Test is uniserial, early portion arcuate, succeeding part rectilinear. Chambers are ovate, their dimensions increasing during the ontogenesis. Wall is calcareous, perforate, unsculptured. The aperture is terminal in HANTKEN's figure but not visible on the available specimen Remarks — No original specimen has been found. Stratigraphical range — N. reitzi is very rare in the upper Clavulina Szabói layers, Buda (Újlak) (HANTKEN 1868, 1875a-b) in the Kiscell Clay Formation, Upper Kiscellian. Ecology — Nodosaria reiten may range from the neritic to the bathyal zone.
