Subkingdom PROTOZOA. 



Class RHIZOPODA. 



Order FORAMINIFERA. 



The beach at St. Andrews affords very ample opportunities 

 for the study of the Rhizopods ; but unfortunately, with the 

 exception of the Spongiadaj, I am only able at present to give 

 a list of a few common Foraminifera, which were kindly de- 

 termined for me by Mr. H. B. Brady, of Newcastle, one of 

 the highest authorities on the subject. They were obtained 

 from shell-sand collected near the estuary of the Eden, and 

 are forms common in shallow water and the littoral region.
