Eecent. If, as Brady supposes, this is essentially an estuarine 

 species, the extensive mud-flats of Bosham and Chichester Harbour 

 are the probable source of origin of the specimens, which occur in 

 such unusual abundance in the shore-sands of both Bognor and 

 Selsey. It would, however, seem improbable, that, regard being 

 had to the friable nature of the test, specimens of this species 

 should travel such a distance upon a shore so exposed to a recur- 

 rence of strong gales. Pending further researches we must con- 

 sider that Brady's theory as to its essentially estuarine character, 

 remains unproved.

The specimens figured are with considerable hesitation referred 

 to this species. There is nothing to indicate the age of the 

 specimens, but they are probably recent, as it is hardly conceivable 

 that such a fragile organism could be preserved intact unless in a 

 sheltered angle of its host. The species was originally described 

 from the Crag of Sutton, Suffolk, and has been recorded at rare 

 intervals around our coast. Earland, who has dredged it at several 

 localities off Scotland, has observed a considerable difference in 

 the (1) size, (2) colour, (3) rotundity of the specimens. The Selsey 

 specimens agree with the type in the absence of a " floor " to the 

 chamber. They are attached to quartz grains. The specimen 

 figured has two chambers side by side, but without any means of 

 communication between them.
