256 THE CANADIAN NATURALIST. [Vol. vi. 



Recent — Gulf and River St. Lawrence, 10 to 313 fathoms. 

 Var. Lahradorica is the deeper water form and is rare in the 

 Leda clay. 



Textularia pi/gmcea. 



Fossil — Leda clay, Labrador ; Riviere-du-Loup ; Quebec : also 

 at Portland (Maine). 



Recent— Gulf St. Lawrence, 10 to 30 fathoms. 



The Textulariae are rare and of small size, both in the Post- 

 pliocene and recent. 



Coimiisjnra foltacea. 



Fossil — Leda clay, Montreal. 



Recent — Gulf St. Lawrence, 16 to 250 fathoms, G. M. D. 



This species is rare both fossil and recent. 



Qain q uelocuUna semimdum. 



Fossil — Leda clay, Montreal; Labrador; Quebec; Portland 

 (Maine). 



Recent — Gulf St. Lawrence, 10 to 313 fathoms, most abun- 

 dant in shallow water. G. M. D. 



This species is by no means common and not usually large in 

 the Post-pliocene. It is more abundant in the clays of Maine 

 than in those of Canada. 



Biloculina ringens. 



Fossil — Leda clay, Montreal ; Labrador ; Riviere-du-Loup ; 

 Murray Bay ; Quebec. 



Recent— Gulf St. Lawrence, 30 to 213 fathoms. G. M. D. 



Rather rare in the Post-pliocene as well as in the recent. 



Triloculina tricarinata. 



Fossil — Leda clay, Riviere-du-Loup ; Murray Bay ; Quebec. 



Recent — Gaspe, 30 to 50 fathoms. G. M. D. 



Rare both in Post-pliocene and recent, but perhaps more gen- 

 erally diffused in the former. 



Lituola and Saccammina. 



A very few minute sandy forms referable to these genera are 

 found among the finer part of the washings from Riviere-du-Loup. 



Euglyplia ? 



A single minute test, apparently identical in form with that of 

 Eiiglypha alveolata, was found in washing the Rivi^re-du-Loup 



clays.
