THE CRETACEOUS FORAMINIFERA OF NEW JERSEY. 



PAR I' II. ORIGINAL INVESTIGATIONS 

 AND REMARKS. 



BY ANTHONY WOODWARD, PH.D. 

 (,Presented April 6tk, i8g4.) 



After a number of years of close and careful study a vast 

 amount of rough material has been worked over. I have suc- 

 ceeded in identifying twenty-six genera and fifty-nine species of 

 Foraminifera from the cretaceous formation of New Jersey. The 

 material examined was in part kindly sent to me by the late 

 Prof. Geo. H. Cook, State Geologist of New Jersey, and col- 

 lected by Dr. N. L. Britton ; it was also received in part from 

 Wm. E. Chase, of Franklin, N. J , and James Walker, of Brook- 

 lyn, N. Y., besides many other sources. I spent two days at 

 Mullica Hill, a beautiful Quaker village, collecting marls from the 

 terebratula, gryphsea beds, and the one just above it. From these 

 beds I identified most of the species mentioned in this paper. 



The marls from certain localities are very rich in Nodosaria, 

 Crislettaria, and Polymorphina, especially those from Mullica 

 Hill and the yellow limestone from Timber Creek. My most es- 

 teemed friend, the late H. B. Brady, F.R.S., of London, Eng- 

 land, aided me greatly by verifying such species as I doubted.
