Wall structure is one of the most important generic characters
in evolution of fusulines. White (1932) already noted the importance of
this character, as he pointed out that the process of gradual differen-
tiation of wall, accompanied by enlargement of its structural elements,
is the most evident and principal trend disclosed in the study of the
fusulines; and it permits to trace their pace-by-pace development ;evolution
in the course of time. D. M. Luger-Chernousova has studied the
phylogeny of fusulines in fair detail.
Definite stages in the evolution of the wall in fueulines are
obviously correlated with their over-all phyletic increase in size of
conch, and on them is based the differentiation of the fundamental
classificatory units: subfamilies and genera.
When studying the foraminifera of the Upper Carboniferous
eposits of the eastern part of the Donetz basin I have encountered a
airly peculiar group of fusulines, which does not possess a very clearly
xpressed generic characters, but nevertheless deserves differentiation
nto a new genus: Protriticites.
The generic characteristics of Protriticites combines, on one
ide, the characters of genus Fusulinella Moeller (theca with well expressed
iaphanotheca, and weak fluting of septa), and on the other side, the

chiaructers of genus Triticites Girty (theca with obvious karyotheca in
all volutione of shell). Thus, the newly described genus Protriticites
has a wall that seems, at a first glance, to possess a structure
typical of Fusulinella, It is made of fairly thin dark layer: tectum;
comparatively light and thick layer: diaphanotheca; and two tectoria:
thin outer, and considerably thicker inner. However, it is also clear
that its wall structure is unlike that of Fusulinella in other respects:
its diaphanotheca, tectoria, and chomata have a finely alveolar texture,
distinctly non-unitypical for the different layers in the theca and the
chomata; and the inner tectorium has the coarsest alveolar texture, its
trabeculae being much more sharper, the pore-canalicules being substantially
wider than in the overlying diaphanotheca (pl. I, figs. 1, 4 and 6).
The difference in the type of the alveolar texture between the inner
tectorium and the diaphanotheca is fairly noticeable in medial volutions,
but is particularly clear in outer volutione,where the contact of the
two kinds of the alveolar texture is occasionally marked by a thin
irregular line (fig. 1). In the course of the further development of the
inner tectorium, as seen in the ultimate volution, the contact line disap-
pears, so that the structural elements in the wall of Protrit.icites become
but little different from the same in Triticites Girty.
The new genus thus confirms most obviously the gradualness
of the evolution of the wall structure, and which is expressed in com-
plication of its structural elements not only In the phylogeny of the
fusulines, but also in the Individual development or ontof eny.
It seem: possible that the complex, non-unitypical wall structure
of Protriticites has somewhat hindered gaseous exchange between the pro-
tozan in the shell, and the surrounding water medium- a.nd, if so, could

have resulted in shortening of the geologic duration of Pro r c es
in time and space.
Thus, Protriticites is characteristic only for the deposits of
formation (svita) C3, where it is associated with other fusulines, which
preserve their transitional, that is Middle Carboniferous aspect. But in
the lower part of the next formation, CO, Protriticites is replaced by a
typical Upper Carboniferous triticitic complex of fusulines.
The mentioned characteristic features of Protriticites determine
Apo 9-)
its place in the scheme of fusulinid classification between genera
Fusulinella and Triticites, and indicate its assignment to the sub-
family Schwagerininae Dunbar and Henbest.
Genus Protriticites, n. gen.
Shell short-ventricose to sub-cylindrical, moderately sized.
Wall moderately thick, less frequently quite thin, or quite thick.
Wall structure quite complex, consisting of tectum, diaphanotheca,
and two tectoria. Diaphanotheca, tectoria, and chomata have a finely
alveolar texture; the inner tectorium having the coarsest alveolar texture
among them. The vigorous development of the inner tectorium is crowding
out the diaphanotheca in outer volutions. Septa weakly fluted. Chomata,
prominent in all volutions. Aperture single. Septal pores occasionally
developed. Geno-type: Protriticites globu h,~.s, p., nov.

Comparison. Genotype of Protriticites stands fairly close to
Triticites umbonoplicatus Rauser and Beljaev by the shape and size of
its conch, height of spiral, fluting of septa,thickness of theca, and
shape and size of chomata; but has a substantially different wall structure.
The described difference in wall structure emphasizes close phylogenetic
relationship of the compared forms.
Occurence. Severo-Kamenskii and Belo-Kalitvenskii districts,
in limestones of-.05; and also in many districts of the central part of
the Donetz basin, where Braznikova, established the presence of Protriticites
globulus in limestones of C formation and limestones O1 of C0 formation. I t

Chomata present in all volutions, and are fairly distinct; they
are subquadrate or tubercle-like, about - the height of chamber lumen.
Comparison. Because of the shape, fluting of septa, development
of chomata, and thickness of theca, the described specimens are referred to
genus Fusulina Fisher von Waldheim. However, the well developed alveolar
structure in all layers of theca, and occasionally also in chomata,
distinguishes the described form from the already known representatives
of genus Fusulina, this difference being apparently of generic significance.

PART IV
Remarks by the translator regarding the pertinent stratigraphic terms used
in the U.S.S.R. (Russia)
The Carboniferous is divided into three parts: lower, Middle, and
Upper, which correspond approximately to the Mississippian, Lower Pennsylvanian
(Springer - Dee Moines) and Upper Pennsylvanian (Missouri - Virgil) of
North America. The stratigraphic column of the Donetz coal basin is not
differentiated Into named units, but is divided Into groups or formations
of limestones, characterized chiefly by brachipods (by Theo. Tschernyehev),
and designated by capital letters in the order of the Latin alphabet in
ascending order. Individual limestones in a group or formation are given
arabic numbers.
The boundary b-----ween the Middle and the Upper Carboniferous is
placed on paleontological evidence between the limestone croups N and 0, and
in these limestones Putria discovered his transitional genera of fusulines.
