Formidable Names of Foramenifera. 349 



of Dendrophrya erecta. in Dr. Wright's paper, has the 

 same general characters, and there can be little doubt 

 belongs to that species." 



Mr. Brady then gives notes founded on Mr. Robert- 

 son's specimens of these two species, and calls atten- 

 tion to the fact that all that is known of their 

 distribution is that they have been found by Dr. 

 Wright at Old Granton Quarry, near Edinburgh, and 

 in pools at low water, at Cumbrae, by Mr. Robertson. 



Of the species Reophax difflugiformis, H. B. Brady, 

 the same author, says, " My first acquaintance with 

 the species was from a fossil specimen in Mr. Robert- 

 son's collection, obtained many years ago from the 

 post-tertiary college clay of Cumbrae ; but I cannot 

 speak with certainty of its occurrence elsewhere in the 

 fossil state." 



In describing Haplophragmium globigeriniforme 

 (Parker and Jones), Mr. Brady observes, " I have 

 recently received from my friend, Mr. Robertson, of 

 Glasgow, specimens of an arenaceous foraminifer 

 closely allied to the present species, but isomorphous 

 with Spharoidina bulloides. This interesting modi- 

 fication, which I propose to name Haplophragmium 

 sphceroidiniforme^ was found in sands dredged in the 

 Mediterranean, at depths of seventy to one hundred 

 and twenty fathoms." 



Of another species Mr. Birady remarks, " Mr. 

 Robertson has specimens of Pulvinulina canariensis 

 from the post-tertiary beds of Garvel Park, Greenock ; 

 but with this exception the species has not been 

 identified in the fossil condition."
