This species is rare. One fine specimen, cut Tertically, shows 

 a mcgalospheric commencement.

 Cove ; probably close to 841. 



E,ock composed of crystalline calcite. Some Lithothamnion and 

 Salimeda, numerous foraminifera, and an echinoderm spine. This

 limestones.

Glohigerina hulloides, d'Orbigny. Several. 



Glohigerina conglohata, Brady. One specimen. 



PlanorluUna larvata, P. & J. Occasional.

No. 549 is a specimen of the rock occurring at the base of th& 

 inland cliff at 500 feet, running south from the south-east end 

 of Flying Fish Cove (see Map). It is a whitish or pale cream-

 (including Orhitoides) it contains Lithothamnion and polyzoa in 

 small quantity. 



The foraminifera noticed are as follows : — 



Spiroloculina, sp. 

 Apparently an arenaceous form, but indeterminable.
