There is nothing, then, in what is known of the older Eocene mammals of the Arctogaeal province to forbid the supposition that they stood in an ancestral relation to those of the Calcaire Grossier and the Gypsum of the Paris basin, and that our present fauna, therefore, is directly derived from that which already existed in Arctogaea at the commencement of the Tertiary period.
"You are as retiring as a nun," he went on, "never display your arms and shoulders, but bear yourself in accordance with your years." "Why don't you leave me alone?" returned Paulina Karpovna, and turning to Raisky she added: "Est-il bete, grossier." "Because I wish to marry you, we are a suitable pair." "It will be difficult to find a wife for you." "We are well matched.

Natural size. b. In some parts of the calcaire grossier round Paris, certain beds occur of a stone used in building, and called by the French geologists "Miliolite limestone." It is almost entirely made up of millions of microscopic shells, of the size of minute grains of sand, which all belong to the class Foraminifera.
He finished with a jerk, and the words: "It's too low here." And he went to the door, with the wish to get away from her and go down to Fleur again. Annette stayed a powder-puff, and said with startling suddenness: "Que tu es grossier!" He knew the expression he had reason to.
The discovery of the remains of Palaeotherium and other mammalia in some of the upper beds of the calcaire grossier shows that these land animals began to exist before the deposition of the overlying gypseous series had commenced.
A.3: Headon series, Isle of Wight: Calcaire siliceux, or Travertin Inferieur. A.4: Barton series. Sands and clays of Barton Cliff, Hants: Gres de Beauchamp, or Sables Moyens. B.1: Bracklesham series: Calcaire Grossier. B.2: Alum Bay and Bournemouth beds: Wanting in France? B.2: Wanting in England?: Soissonnais Sands, or Lits Coquilliers. C.1: London Clay: Argile de Londres, Cassel, near Dunkirk.
The lower part of the calcaire grossier, which often contains much green earth, is characterised at Auvers, near Pontoise, to the north of Paris, and still more in the environs of Compiegne, by the abundance of nummulites, consisting chiefly of N. laevigata, N. scabra, and N. Lamarcki, which constitute a large proportion of some of the stony strata, though these same foraminifera are wanting in beds of similar age in the immediate environs of Paris.
Among the Bracklesham fossils besides the Cardita, the huge Cerithium giganteum is seen, so conspicuous in the Calcaire Grossier of Paris, where it is sometimes two feet in length. Out of 193 species of testacea procured from the Bagshot and Bracklesham beds in England, 126 occur in the Calcaire Grossier in France.
