X. — SOME NEW FORMS OF RADIOLARIA. 

 (From Manitoba.) 

 To those not acquainted with the subject, we may say 

 that these cuts illustrate the fossil skeletons of certain 

 very minute and very low forms of animal life. The an- 

 imals lived many thousand years ago and only their hard 

 parts I'emain. Pictures of the animals when living- 



would look very differently. The Latin names of all 

 these 16 different forms are of no popular interest but 

 they may be found by those who desire them in the 

 A'}?ier. Mo. Microscopical Journal for April, 1893, where 

 a description of each is also recorded. We insert these 

 illustrations here to draw attention to the subject. Rev.
