Seven hundred and seventy specimens of Nonionina depressula were 

 obtained from this gathering, whilst the remaining 38 species comprised 

 only 600 specimens. Lagena flmbriata was the most interesting form ; it 

 has only been met with as a recent British species off the west coasts of 

 Ireland and Scotland ; it occurred in 30 of the Lord Bandon gatherings 

 from between tides to a depth of 214 fathoms. 



To Mr. John Smith, of Monkredding, I am much indebted 

 for four samples of shelly Boulder clay from high levels in 

 Ayrshire and Dumfrieshire. A few years previously I had 

 examined, for Mr. T. Mellard Reade, F.G.S.,^ five samples of 

 Boulder Clay from Ayrshire, which he had collected in com-

 ferous clays in this part of Scotland.* In four of the samples 

 Foraminifera were found in more or less abundance — viz., at 

 Byne Hill Buri], 120 feet CD., 1,160 specimens were ob- 

 tained ; at Merkland Burn, 550 feet O.D., 22 specimens ; at
