Original Description

[Original text]: Coquille libre, déprimée ou trochoïde, finement perforée, souvent carénée. Spire déprimée, tronquée ou conique. Loges déprimées, souvent carénées. Ouverture en fente longitudinale, contre l’avant-dernier tour de spire, n’occupant qu’une partie de la dernière loge.

[Google Translated from French]: Free shell, depressed or trochoid, finely perforated, often carinated. Depressed, truncated or conical whorl. Depressed, often carinated chambers. Longitudinal slit opening, against the penultimate turn of the whorl, occupying only part of the last chamber.

Extra details from original publication
[Original text]: Rapports et différences: Pouvant se confondre, par la forme extérieure, avec les Rosalines et les Troncatulines, ce genre se distingue néanmoins par des caractères très tranchés, des premières par son ouverture contre le retour de la spire et seulement extérieure à la dernière loge, au lieu d’être dans l’ombilic et de se continuer d’une loge à l’autre; des secondes, en ce que cette ouverture n’est pas continue du côté de la spire. Il diffère des Globigérines en ce que, dans celles-ci, les loges sont globuleuses, et que l’ouverture est dans l’angle ombilical, au lieu d’être sur le côté de la loge.

D’après l’exposé de ces caractères, nous ne pouvons plus conserver comme genres distincts les Gyroidines et les Calcarines, les premières ayant en tout les mêmes dispositions d’ouvertures et seulement la spire tronquée; les secondes, à ouverture semblable, ne s’en distinguant que par les appendices de leur pourtour. Nous croyons donc de ne devoir diviser les Rotalines qu’en deux sous-genres: 1o les Rotalines propres, dans lesquelles rentrent en entier nos Gyroïdines; 2o les Calcarines.

[Google Translated from French]: Relationships and differences: Although it can be confused, by its external form, with the Rosalines and the Truncatulines, this genus is nevertheless distinguished by very clear characteristics, from the former by its opening against the return of the whorl and only external to the last cell, instead of being in the navel and continuing from one cell to the other; from the latter, in that this opening is not continuous on the side of the whorl. It differs from the Globigerinas in that, in the latter, the cells are globular, and the opening is in the umbilical angle, instead of being on the side of the cell.

According to the exposition of these characters, we can no longer keep the Gyroidines and the Calcarines as distinct genera, the former having in all the same arrangements of openings and only the truncated whorl; the latter, with a similar opening, are distinguished only by the appendages of their periphery. We therefore believe that we should only divide the Rotalines into two sub-genera: 1st the Rotalines proper, in which our Gyroidines fall entirely; 2nd the Calcarines.
