Abstract

The English Bathonian contains a rich foraminiferal fauna composed largely of Lagenidae. The succession of foraminifera is as yet only partially revealed, but some faunal changes between the Lias and Bathonian are apparent, and four faunules have been distinguished in the Bathonian. In Dorset and the vicinity of Bath the faunules occur in the same order of superposition. In comparing the English Bathonian foraminifera with those in the German section the present data suggest that a number of species range higher in England than in Germany.
