XXV. — On some Recent and Fossil Foraminifera dreJqed up 

 in the English Channel. By Prof. T. KuPE]iT Jones, 

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



I. 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 Scilly 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 Spirorbis 

 attached. 



These fossils are : — 



Numraulina Ramondi, Defr, 

 Rouaulti, D'Arch. 8f Haime. 



The recent Foraminifera from the same sand we found to 

 be:— 



Miliola (Quinqueloculina) semi- 

 nulum (Lin.). Young. 



Ferussacii, D'Orb. 



Young. 



(Spiroloculina) planulata, 



Lnm. 



Trochammina squamata, P. SfJ, 

 Lituola globigerinifonnis, P. Sf J. 

 Lagena sulcata, W, ^ J. 



squamosa, Montagu. 



marginata, Mont. 



Nodosaria obliquestriala (both Den- 



taline and Marginuline), Peuss. 

 Vaginulinalegumen(i?n.). Smooth. 

 Dentaliua communis, D'Orb. 

 Marginulina raphauua (Lin.). 



Short, 

 (^/ristellaria cvmba, D'Orb. 



rotulata (Lam.). 



Polymorphina lactea (W. 8f J.). 



horrida, Perns. 



compressa, D'Orb. 



Polymorphina myristiformis, Wil- 

 liamson. 



costata, JEf/ffer. 



Uvigerina augulosa, IVi/l. 

 Cassidulina oblonga, Peuss. 

 Textularia aciculata,Z)'0;-6. Mostly 



aculeate on the edges. 



sagittula, Defr. Common. 



agglutinans, D'Orb. Large. 



Spirillina vivipara (Ehr.). 

 Patclliua corrugata, M'ill. 

 Pulvinulina ain-icula (F. ^- M.). 



Large. 



pulcholla (D'Orb.). 



Discorbina globularis (D'Orb.). 



Common. 

 rosacea (D'Orb.). Feeble 



and more conical than usual ; 



together with intermediate forms. 

 Rotalia Jieccarii (Lin.). 

 Nonionina striato-punctata (F. if- 



M.). 



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

 time, off Vigo : — 



Nonionina uiubilicatula (Montar/u), varying towards N. .tca/ilia (F. & M.). 

 Small Bivalves, whitened in blotches and along sinuous lines. 



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

 Woodward a sample of .sand dredged 1)V .Mr. .M'Amh-ow and
