FORAMINIFERA.* 



[Nomenclature: Brady, Challenger Eeporf, ix.] 



The Foraminifera were identified from samples of sand and mud 

 taken for that purpose from the surface of the shore close to low-water 

 mark. These samples were obtained in the following localities: — 

 (1) The south-east shore of the Salstone ; (2) the zostera bank south 

 of Pil worthy Point, at the north-east end of Salcombe Harbour; (3) from 

 the clean, fine sand at Millbay ; (4) from some clean sand between 

 Ferry House and Millbay, near the mouth of Salcombe Harbour ; 

 (5) from some more muddy sand near the Ferry House ; (6) A sample 

 of the mud dredged in the channel west of the Salstone was also 

 examined. 



BiLOCULiNA PJNGENS {Lamarch). A few in the sand from between 

 Ferry House and Millbay. 



MiLiOLiXA SEMINULUM {Linn.). Abundant in samples of sand and 

 mud taken between Ferry House and Millbay, near the mouth of 

 Salcombe Harbour. The specimens here were exceptionally large. 

 Present, but less numerous, at the Salstone, both on the shore and in 

 mud from the channel, and also in sand from the north-east end of 

 Salcombe Harbour. 



MiLiOLiNA BICORNIS {Walkcv and Jacoh). A few specimens only in 

 sand from between Ferry House and Millbay, from the north-east end 

 of Salcombe Harbour, and from the Salstone. 



jNIiliolixa agglutinans {(VOrhigny). Occasional specimens from 

 the Salstone, and from the mud dredged in the channel immediately 

 to the west of it. 



Haplophkagmium canapjense {d'Orhigny). Occasional specimens in 

 sand from the north-east end of Salcombe Harbour and from the 

 channel west of the Salstone. 



Textulakia ghamen, d'Orhif/nj/. A few from the sand between 

 Ferry House and Millbay, and a few from the Salstone. 



Textulakia agglutinans, d'Orhigny. Found in all the samples 

 examined, being most plentiful at the north-east end of Salcombe 

 Harbour.
