given.* E. H. Worth has contributed a more scientific list of 

 116 species to a publication of the Plymouth Marine Biological 

 Association,t but this is a list which may be taken to represent 

 only the extreme eastern section of our area. The list is, however, 

 a very valuable one, as it complements the records from our 

 Station I, being principally derived from dredgings made in, and 

 to the south and west of, Plymouth Sound, and around the Eddy- 

 stone Lighthouse, and may therefore be regarded as primarily 

 deahng with Cornish Foraminifera. 



Finally, we may mention a list of thirty-five species published 

 by the late David Eobertson (without frequencies) in 1869 in the 

 Keport of the British Association for that year.J All the species 

 recorded occur in our list with the single exception of Nonionina 

 turgicla Williamson. The only indication of locality is contained 

 in a phrase in the introductory paragraph, " taken in about 40 fms. 

 7 miles south-east of the Eddystone, and some 14 miles south-east 

 of the Dudman in about the same depth of water." This paper 

 may therefore also be taken to be primarily concerned with our 

 area.§ 



Lists of Foraminifera from the adjacent shores of Devonshire 

 may be found in E. Parfitt's paper " On the Protozoa of Devon- 

 shire," II in which seventy-one species are recorded from Exmouth,^ 

 Plymoutli Sound, Eddystone, Brixham, Salcombe Bay, and Torbay ; 

 and E. H. Worth has contributed a list of thirty species to 

 E. J. Allen and E. A. Todd's paper, " The Fauna of the Salcombe 



Estuary ."IT 



The shore-gatherings forming the subject of the present paper 

 have been made, as will be seen by the List of Stations, over a 

 period of more than twenty years, and have been supplemented by 



* Among the Millett MSS. which have come into our possession is a "List of 

 Recent Foraminifera of Marazion, Mounts Bay, supi^lied to Prof. Jas. Clark, 4th 

 March 1906." This is primarily founded upon the 1884-5 paper, but a few species 

 are added, including Placopsilina varians (Carter), [see No. 46 Iridia diaphana 

 Heron-Allen and Earland and note thereon], and Lagenafaba Balkwill and Millett. 

 This latter species does not appear in our list, nor in those to which we have 

 otherwise referred. We have indicated the species thus added to Millett's 1884-5 

 list by the sign (M. 1906).

 Dredgings in the English Channel " (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. Ser. 4, vol. xvii. 

 1876, pp. 252-7), a list is given of thirty-two species from a dredging made by 

 Dr. S. P. Woodward and Mr. McAndrew in 60 fms. 40 miles south of the Scilly 

 Islands. This is hardly related to our area, but all the species named occur under 

 one name or another, in our list, with the exception of Polymorphhia horrida 

 Reuss, P. costata Egger. and Nodosaria raphanus (Liun6).
