It may at first appear superfluous to publish a 

 second list of the Foraminifera found in the Faroe 

 Channel, after the excellent paper by Dr. H. B. 

 Brady, F.R.S. ;* but when it is considered that this 

 locality offers such an exceedingly interesting and 

 rich field for investigation in both physical and 

 biological science, as will readily be seen by the 

 earlier publications of the late Sir Wyville Thomson, 

 and Dr. W. B. Carpenter, and the recent ones by 

 Dr. John Murray, V.P.R.S.E., and other eminent 

 scientific gentlemen, f no further apology is here 

 needed. 



I have since had the privilege of examining 

 minutely the whole of the material obtained by 

 H.M.SS. Knight Errant and Triton, as well as a 

 portion of that obtained by H.M.SS. Lightning and 

 Porcupine expeditions, taken in the same locality,
