Miliolina seiniiuilum 



Polystoiaella crispa 



Textularia granien 



Poh'stoiiiolla stiiato-puuctata 



Discorbina rosacea 



Planorbulina meditevranensis 



Bulimina pupoides (?Buliinina elegaiis) 



The specimen.* of Miliolina seniinuliun were generally much smaller than those 

 found in the next sami^le. One large specimen of Polymorphina compressa was 

 found; compared with the individuals from the 30-fathom line off this coast the 

 size is striking. 



On floating, the following additional species were obtained : Lagena sulcata, Lagena 

 orbiguyana. 



A sample of the fine surface sand taken between the Ferry House and Millbay 

 was found to contain 50 Foraminifera in 13 c.grms. 



Of these eleven were not identified, but all were probably species as under : — 



Nonionina dejaressula . 26 per cent. 

 Polystomella cris^m . 18 „ 



Miliolina seminulum . 13 ,, 

 Rotalia beccarii . .13 „ 

 Polystomella striato-punctata 7*5 ,, 

 Textularia gramen . . 5 „ 



Textularia agglutinans . 5 per cent. 

 Bulimina pupoides . . 2'5 „ 

 Planorbulina mediterranensis 2'5 „ 

 Lagena orbignyana . . 2*5 ,, 

 Discorbina ro.sacea . . 2'5 „ 

 Truncatulina lobatula . 2"5 „ 



Many of the individuals of Miliolina seminulum are of exceptional size. 



There were also present occasional individuals of Biloculina ringens, ^Miliolina 

 bicornis, and Lagena apiculata. 



The following small species, in addition to those given above, were obtained by 

 floating them from another portion of the dried sample : Bolivina jaunctata, Lagena 

 striata, L. sulcata, and L. hexagona. 



Another sample of very find sand or mud from near the Ferry House contained 

 53 Foraminifera in 13 c.grms. 



Of these sixteen were not identified, but all were probalily species as under. 



Of those identified — 



Polystomella crispa . 



Nonionina depressula 



Miliolina seminulum 



Rotalia beccarii 



Polystomella striato-jjunc-

Sagartia belli.s. Occasional specimens. 



Actinia mesembryantheraum. A few scattered, generally attached to stones.
