FORAMINIFERA OF THE WEST OF SCOTLAND. 277 



"three or four small starved specimens" (B. 1864, RES. p. 470, pi. xlviii. fig. 15). 

 Instead of figuring these specimens as should have beeu done, Brady reproduced B,euss's 

 original figure (ut supra) from the chalk of Mecklenberg. These fossils are of the 

 robust type, with strong marginal edge and deep sutural lines on the base, such as 

 are commonly found in deep water. Brady's original Shetland specimens appear to 

 have been lost ; we cannot find any trace of them at Cambridge, Newcastle, or the 

 British Museum, but there can be little doubt that they were similar to the little form 

 which we figure, and which is quite common in the Shetland area. A slide in the 

 Cambridge collection among the N. Polar 1875 Expedition slides contains small speci- 

 mens, which, but for the rather strong sutural lines, are identical with the familiar 

 British type.

Almost universally distributed, reaching its maximum in size and numbers at Stn. 1, 

 where it forms 95 per cent, of the coarse siftings. At this Stn. the specimens are very 

 strongly marked with secondary growths.

16 Stations. 



Widely distributed and of the typical neatly rounded form. 



303. Rotalia perlucida, Heron-Allen & Earland.
