one, and, further, that I can satisfactorily demonstrate most 

 that I have put forward, yet further research is needed to 

 render the matter more certain, and especially to clear up the 

 question of the ultimate termination of the nerve filaments. 



The following is the list of authors' works referred to ; and 

 to those who may be desirous of entering more fully into the 

 history of the subject I would specially recommend the 

 work of Paul Meyer on the ' Labyrinthe Membraneux,' just 

 published.

On some Foraminifera /rom the Loo Choo Islands. By 

 Henry B. Brady, F.R.S.^ 



A PRESSED and mounted specimen of a small alga, labelled 

 '' Laurencia paniculata, Loo Choo Islands,""' was recently 

 sent to me by Dr. E. Perceval Wright, with the suggestion 

 that some Foraminifera which had been entangled in its 

 meshes might be worth examination, and that at any rate it 

 would be interesting to know what particular species had 

 lived amongst its miniature branches. As the sea-weed 

 itself was of some value, two or three inches were taken, and 

 the portion as separated yielded examples of the following 

 species of Foraminifera, some of them in sufficient number 

 to supply two or three good mountings. 



Hauerina compressa, d'Orbigny. 



Quinqueloculina subrotunda, Montagu. 



„ bicornis, Walker and Jacob. 



„ ornatissima, Karrer.
