Extract

The following article includes a description of the larger Foraminifera of the Upper Ranikot Series of Sind in Western India. The specimens examined consist of a collection made by Mr. D. Dale Condit and by myself in the winter of 1923, as well as material kindly loaned by the Indian Geological Survey. I wish to thank the directors of the Whitehall Petroleum Corporation for permitting me to make use of the specimens collected during a geological reconnaissance undertaken on their behalf. Of the specimens figured those loaned by the Survey have been returned to Calcutta, and the remainder placed in the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge.
