Saccammina of the Carboniferous Limestone, 217 



name was, however, in 1871 * put aside for Sars'a genus 

 Saccammina^ to which Brady saw they belonged. At various 

 intervals since this time S. Carteri has been recorded from 

 various horizons in the Carboniferous Limestones of England, 

 Scotland, and Belgium. For the synonymy up to 1876 one 

 may refer to Brady's monograph on the Carboniferous and 

 Permian Foraminifera f. 



The original specimens were stated by McCoy to be depo- 

 sited in the collections of the University of Cambridge and 

 Royal Dublin Society. To make the identification perfectly 

 sure I have examined the specimen from the latter collection, 

 which has the original label attached ; and for this privilege

Saccammina fiisuliniformis, McCoy, sp. On weathered surface of Car- 

 boniferous Limestone, Shivey, Co. Tyrone. Ireland. (From the 

 original specimen in the Woodwardian Museum, Cambridge.) 



I am indebted to the Director and Mr. H. Woods, the Curator 

 of the Woodwardian Museum. The foraminifera on this 

 original specimen have been weathered out of the limestone 

 block and are quite comparable with the typical Carbon- 

 iferous Saccammince. Since no figure has hitherto been 

 given of the original specimen, a portion of the limestone 

 surface is now shown.
