By Pror. A. C. Happon, M.A., M.R.LA. 
Tur following summary of papers published within the 
last two years is intended to inform naturalists of the more 
interesting species of marine Invertebrates which have recently

unknown to occur in Ireland.

Millet. Journal of Microscopy and Natural Science, iii. 
pp. 1—22, pls. i—iv. (1884). 
In taking a general review of the Foraminifera of Galway, 
‘there may be neticed the absence of Biloculina ringens, the 
moderate frequency of Miliolina fusca and Ammodiscus gordialis, 
and the occurrence of a few fine specimens of A. shoneana. 
The flattened forms of Lagene are remarkably abundant, giving 
- yise, as might be expected, to varieties; among the rarer forms 
are Lagena pulchella, L. faba, L. bicarinata, L. fimbriata, and 
L. clathrata (the last two not having been previously recorded 
as British species), and a variety between L. clathrata and 
L. castrensis.” 
“ Tingulina carinata occurs. The Nodosarine, Dentaline, and 
Cristallarie are but poorly represented. Among the Polymorphine 
we have the rare Polymorphina myristiformis, P. complanata, a
