 218, pi. vi. Dr. Carpenter unites Cristdlaria, Flabellina, Dentaliiia, 

 Nodosaria dr'c., as members of a single genus, for which he uses the name 

 Nodosaria. It may be at least convenient, however, to retain these names 

 in a subgeneric sense ; but, in either case, We should think Montfort's 

 older name Phonemtts, should stand for the entire group. 



6 and 7.— I have not been able to find by whom these two species were 

 described, but believe it was by Ehrenberg.

Off Long Branch and off Rockaway Beach, near the entrance to New 

 York Bay, the sand contains a large mixture of black grains. They are 

 greensand grains or glauconite, casts of the shells of Foraminifera from 

 the greensand formation of New Jersey, and have been washed out, either 

 from the shore or from an outcropping of the beds under the sea-level.
