The species occurs in company with its allied species, 11. seminulum, at several Stns., 

 but it is not generally distributed. 



Though now recorded for the first time as British, this species must often have 

 occurred, and has no doubt been included (with other varieties) under records of 

 M. seminulum (Linne). 



30. Miliolina vulgaris (d'Orbigny).

A few doubtful specimens of this doubtful species, which was first recorded by us as 

 British (ut supra). 



31. Miliolina seminulum (Linne).

Universally distributed, often abundant, and attaining very fine proportions, the best 

 perhaps at Stn. 1. Very good and variable at Stn. 17, both round-edged and angular 

 forms occurring. 



32. Miliolina candeiana (d'Orbigny). (Plate 39. figs. 19-27.) 



Quinqueloculina candeiana, d'Orbigny, 1839, FC. p. 199, pi. xii. figs. 24-26.

The little form, which in the Clare Island report we assigned with some reservations 

 to d'Orbigny 's species, occurs at a good many Stns., most abundantly at Stns. 10 and 18. 

 We still feel some uncertainty as to the affinities of the form, but we see no reason to 

 vary the views we then expressed {ut supra). If anything, the ' Buna' specimens have a 

 greater tendency to a spiroloculine form than the Irish shells, but the specimens are so 

 variable (while preserving a superficial similarity of general characteristics) that we 

 prefer to retain the species. We are not at all satisfied with the Clare Island figures, 

 which fail to reproduce the opalescent character of the shell, and we take this opportunity 

 of figuring the species again. 



We have failed to trace Brady's type-specimens, on which the species was added to the 

 British list ; they are not to be found either on the Brackish-water and Tidal Biver 

 slides (or, indeed, on any of the slides) at Cambridge, nor does the sj>eeies occur on the 

 Brady type-slides in the British Museum. He quotes it as recorded by Siddall from 

 the Biver Dee, but we have searched the Siddall collection (which is now in our hands) 

 also in vain for the specimens on which the records rest.
