METHODS
Two characters were used as main taxonomic criteria in determining
genera: the internal structure of the test and the type of the aperture,
because the number of chambers seen from the outside appeared to be
a secondary character, as it is often the same in different genera (Part I,
Luczkowska, 1972). In the diagnoses and descriptions of species the author
confined herself to the discussion of the front side of the test, in which
the number of visible chambers is larger, and the apertural view, which
is very important in identifying species. The back or small-chambered side
adds no new features to the description. The terminology used in the
descriptions is elucidated in Text-fig. 2.
In the descriptions of species of the genus Quinqueloculina two stages
have been indicated, the quinqueloculine stage (QS) and the massiline
stage (MS) 1), because a single stage does not cover the morphological data
of the species. The dimensions are given for the smallest and the largest
specimen of a given species and in the case of the genus Quinqueloculina
also separately for the quinqueloculine and massiline forms.
1) The abbreviations QS and MS have been introduced in Part I (1972) for the
designation of the ontogenetic stages in determining the species of Quinqueloculina.
