All the above are known as fossil forms in British Palaeon- 

 tology. No 1 dates from Cretaceous times, No. 2 from the 

 Lias, No. 3 from the Trias, and No. 4 from the Permian. 



The geological material resembles that passed through in the 

 Hergott borings, and all the foraminifera noted above were 

 obtained in the Hergott material. There is therefore little 

 doubt that Mr. Scoular's gatherings belong to the same geo- 

 logical formation. 



The fossils other than foraminifera observed in the material 

 under notice were a single carapace of an Entomostracan and 

 some fragments of vegetable tissue. A few minute pyritous 

 casts also indicate the existence of vegetable life.
