The occurrence of Psammosphera fusca in abundance 
in this clay—a very shallow water deposit—is most 
remarkable, because it has hitherto only been recorded 
from deep water. I have found it at many stations 
off the West of Ireland (s.s. Lord Bandon), at depths 
varying from 48 to 110 fathoms; and Dr. H. B. Brady, 
in his report on the Foraminifera of H.M.S. Challenger 
Expedition, records its occurrence at various Stations, 
at depths varying from 150 to 2800 fathoms. The 
Westbury specimens are much more fragile than those 
from the deep sea gatherings.
