Excerpt from The Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal, Vol. 32: Exhibiting a View of the Progressive Discoveries and Improvements in the Sciences and the Arts; October to April 1842 We must ascribe the obscurity in which the Foraminifera have remained to the difficulty of their observation and to the comparatively trifling results generally obtained from the investigation of microscopic bodies; and yet there are few branches of study more accessible to every one, and which afford more important consequences. Should an observer be resident on any coast whatever of the various quarters of the globe, or on any tertiary, chalk, or oolite formation of a con tinent, he will find everywhere under his feet an immense multitude of Foraminifera, for whose examination a simple lens is sufficient. In regard to the importance of the study, it ought to possess equal interest for geologists as for zoolo gists; for the first, because it enables them to determine the temperature of the regions in which the fossil animalslived, by means of a comparison with those which still live in our seas, and also, because it gives them information respecting the for mation of certain strata, questions of the highest importance for the history of our planet; and, for the last, from the ele gance of the forms of these animals, from their peculiarity of organisation, and finally, because they constitute one of the most numerous classes of animals, and, notwithstanding their minuteness, play an important part in nature.
