the species for me. Mr. G. E. Vine, junr., Sheffield, also helped me in 

 the same direction. The identification of species at Ticknall is difficult, 

 except to an experienced hand, on account of the very generally crushed 

 and somewhat disintegrated condition of the tests of these minute fossils. 

 Dr. Brady informs me that he has found among the Challenger dredgings, 

 which are under his examination, a form scarcely differing from the 

 Carboniferous species, Climacammina antiqua. He says that the forms 

 figured Bigencrina patula in his valuable monograph are only regular 

 varieties of Climacammina. I am also given to understand that Textularia 

 is now removed from the Globigerinida and put close to Climacammina, 

 under the Lituolida, and therefore class it accordingly.

A LIST OF THE QUADEUPEDS FOUND IN THE 

 PAEISH OF BODICOTE, OXFOEDSHIEE. 



BY OLIVER V. APLIN. 



In this list I have been able to include twenty-one species. The 

 Badger is no longer found, but in some parts of the district around it is 

 not unfrequently met with ; on Tadmarton Heath, for instance, they are 

 frequently taken ; I have also seen the young from there, and was 

 informed that there was a litter this season. The Black Rat (Mus rattus, 

 Linn.) is also a thing of the past ; an old ratcatcher, who has worked this 

 district for many years, tells me he has never come across it. The 

 Harvest Mouse may be found, but I have not been able to obtain
