XXV. — On some Recent and Fossil Foraminifera dredged up 

 in the English Channel, By Prof. T. KUPERT JoNES, 

 F.E.S., F.G.S., &c., and W. K. Parker, F.R.S., F.L.S. 



1. In 1857, Dr. S. P. Woodward favoured us with a sample 

 of sea-sand dredged by Mr. M' Andrew and himself from 

 60 fathoms, 40 miles south of the Scillj Islands. He also 

 gave us a sorting of fossil Nummulites taken from that sand. 

 These are mineralized with carbonate of lime, and are small — 

 the largest not three eighths of an inch in diameter. They 

 are dense, and mostly smooth and even polished, in some 

 cases much worn ; and one has a small recent Spirorhis 

 attached. , 



These fossils are : — 



Nummuliua Ramondi, Defr. 

 Kouaulti, D'Arch. ^- Haime. 



The recent Foraminifera from the same sand we found to 

 be:— 



Miliola (Quinqueloculina) semi- 

 nuliim (Lin.). Youug. 



Ferussacii, D'Orh. 



Young. 



(Spiroloculina) planulata, 



Lnni. 



Trochamniina squamata, P. S)-J. 

 Lituola globigeriniforinis, P. <§• J. 

 Lagena sulcata, JV. ^ J. 



squamosa, Montagu. 



marginata, Mont. 



Nodosaria obliquestriatafboth Den- 



taline and Marginuline), Beuss.

 Cristellaria cymba, D^Orb. 



rotulata (Lani.). 



Polymorphina lactea (W. ^- J.). 



horrida, Heitss. 



compressa, Z)' Orb. 



Polymorphina myristiformis, Wil- 

 liamson. 



costata, Efjger. 



Uvigerina augulosa, Will. 

 Ca.ssidulina oblonga, Rmss. 

 Textularia aciculata, Z^'Ori. Mostly 



aculeate on the edges.

Spirillina vivipara (Ehr.). 

 Patellina corrugata, Will. 

 Pulvinulina auricula (F. 8,- M.). 



Large. 



pulchella (LfOrb.). 



Discorbina globularis {D'Orb.). 



Common. 

 — — rosacea (D''Orb.). Feeble 



and more conical than usual ; 



together with intermediate forms. 

 Rotalia J3eccarii i^Lin.). 

 Nonionina striato-punctata {F. Sf 



M.). 



From the stomach of a Dentalium dredged up, at the same 

 time, off Vigo : — 



Nonionina umbilicatula (Montagu), varying towards N. .scaplia (F. & M.). 

 Small Bivalves, whitened in blotches and along sinuous lines. 



II. At the same time we received also from Dr. 8. P. 

 Woodward a sample of sand dredged by Mr. M'Andrew and
