Foraminifera of Soutli CorinralL 47' 



154. K scalaris (Batsch). (Rcis., B. 1884, F.C. p. 510.) I, r. ; II, III, 



Villa, v.r. (M.) (P.) 



155. N. proxima Silvestri. (Refs., H-A. & E. 1915, FJv.A. p. 669.) A single 



typical specimen at Station I. 



156. -V. pyruJa d'Orbigny. (Eefs , B. 1884, F.C. p. 497.) I, II, V, v.r. The 



species is mainly represented by fragments, but some of these must 

 have formed part of specimens of very large size. (M.) (P.) 



157. .V. commMnts d'Oibigny. (Refs., B. 1884, F.C. p. 504.) I, v.r. (M.) 



(P.) (R.) 



158. N. ohJiqua (Linne). (Refs., B. 1884, F.C. p. 513.) (M.*) 



159. LinguUna peUucid' I Sidehottom. Plate VII, fig. 4. (Rets., H-A. ct E. 



1913, C.I. p. 96.) A single specimen at Station I, -which is probat>ly 

 referable to this species, although the earlier of the two chambers 

 is larger than is represented in Sidebottom's original figure, or 

 in our subsequent Clare Island record. The present is the second 

 British record, and the third British locality in which it lias been 

 found, the otlier being a ' Goldseeker ' dredging in the Moray Firth. 

 Millett. in liis Malay Papers, figures (M. 1898, etc. ; F M. 1902, p. 523, 

 pi. xi. fig. 15), a biloculine Lin(/u^>'"n which he called L. li/inhata, 

 and, referring in the text to Sidebottom's Delos form L. pellucida, 

 states that he has specimens and drawings of that form, and that 

 it is closely allied to his own species L. limhata, but not identical. 

 He appears, however, to have altered his mind on this point sub- 

 sequently, as the Delos specimens of L. pellucida Sidebottom in his 

 collection are identified by him as L. limhata Millett. We do not 

 agree with this later view of Millett's ; the two forms appear to be 

 quite distinct, though no doubt closely allied. 



160. MarginuUna costafa (Batsch). (Refs., B. 1884, F.C. p. 528.) A single 



good specimen from Station I. 



161. Vaginulina legumen (Linne). (Refs., B. 1884, F.C. p. 530.) I, V, VII, 



VIII6, v.r. 



162. Cristellaria crepidula (Fichtel & Moll). Plate VII, figs. 5-10, and 



Plate VIII, fig. 1. (Refs., B. 1884, F.C. p. 542.) This is the most 

 representative Cristellarian in the district, and at Station I speci- 

 mens were not only nuT)ierous, but presented extreme varieties. 

 Many of the forms figured by Burrows and Holland (B. & H. 1897, 

 P.B p. 39, pi. i. tigs. 1-21) occur at this station, and it would have 

 been possible to have compiled quite a long list of varietal names, 

 but wht^re the range of individuals is so great in a single locality 

 it seems undesirable to do this. Zoologically they are all refer- 

 able to the single type, and we figure &ome of the more striking 

 forms. At the remaining stations (shore-sands) all the individuals 

 were of the normal type, though varying greatly in size. I, f. ; 

 II, V. ; III, IV, V, v.r. (M.) (P.) (R.) 



163. C. ifalica (Defrance). (Refs., B. 1884, F.C. p. 544.) (P. *) A deep- 



water species. 



164. V. hauerina d'Orbigny. (d'O. 1846, F.F.V. p. 84, pi. iii. figs. 24, 25.) 



Plate VIII, tigs, 2-4. (New to Britain.) At Station I a single typical 

 specimen of the evolute or uncoiled type of this very variable 

 species. Although not previously recorded in Britain (at any 

 rate as a recent form), there can be no question as to the recent 

 character of this specimen, the shell being in the most perfect 

 hyaline condition. The C. rhon,h"idea of Czjzek (C 1848, F.W.B. 

 p. 141, pi. xii. figs. 21-23) is another form of this protean species.
