THE FORAMINIFERA OF THE RIVER DEE. 47 
The very few specimens which have been found by Mrs. 
Suone and myself, have all been obtained from Hilbre or 
Holywell, and, finding that it is new to science, I have, with 
her permission, named it after my valued friend and co-worker. 
* Trochammina charoides, Parker and Jones. 
Trochammina squamata charoides, Parker and Jones, Quart. Jour. Geol. 
Soc., 1860, vol. xvi., p. 304. 
Trochammina charoides, Carpenter, Introduction to Foram., 1862, p. 141, 
pl. xi, fig. 3. 
So named from the resemblance of the test to the ‘ nucule” 
of Chara. 
Lituola findens, Parker. 
Lituola findens, Parker, (in G. M. Dawson’s paper) Canadian Naturalist, 
N.S., vol. v., p. 176, wood-cut, fig. 1. 
Typical examples of this are twice or thrice forked, but in the 
Dee we seldom find it with more than a simple column of five 
to eight chambers, which, in outward appearance, closely re- 
sembles the uni-serial portion of Bigenerina digitata, and, being 
generally found broken, it is just possible that the fragments 
which have led to the placing of the latter name on the list, 
may belong to the above. 
Haliphysema Tumanowiczit, Bowerbank. 
Haliphysema Tumanowiezii, Bowerbank, Brit. Spong., vol. i, pl. xxx., 
fig. 359. 
itiiena scopula, Carter, 1870, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., Ser. 4, vol. v., 
p. 309, pl. 4 and 9. 
Originally described by Dr. Bowerbank as ‘the smallest of 
British Sponges,” the true rhizopodal nature of this has recently 
been demonstrated by Mr. Saville Kent, who has seen the 
pseudopodia extended in specimens from the Channel. The 
first example from the Dee was dredged at the mouth of the 
river by A. O. Walker, Esq., F.L.S. It is fixed upon Quin- 
queloculina subrotunda, and was entangled among the roots of 
Cellularia avicularia.
