presenting a correspondingly meagre fauna), a few Ostracoda 
were noticed of the following species :— 
Cythere porcellanea, Brady. Paradoxostoma Fischeri, G, O. Sars. 
—— castanea, G. O. Sars. ——- hibernieum ?, Brady. 
9. Estuary of the Ribble—We are indebted to Mr. E. C. 
Davison for a sounding from this locality. It consisted of 
ne sand; and though the quantity was very small, it con- 
tained microzoa of considerable interest. The only specimen 
of Uvigerina irregularis that has been found on the west coast 
occurred in it. 
10 & ll. Loch-in-Daal and Loch Grunard. The former 
locality is the large bay facing southwards, the latter the 
smaller inlet opening northwards in the island of Islay. In 
both of these a large marshy tract extends inland, portions of 
Which are only covered at ihe highest tides; and we are in- 
debted to Mr. R. Y. Green for parcels of mud obtained from the 
grassy pools above the ordinary high-water marks. oug 
differmg considerably, both gatherings are eminently brackish; 
that from Loch Grunard contained the only specimen of 
rochammina squamata we have yet met with under such 
conditions—indeed, with the exception of rare examples from 
deeper water among the Hebrides, the only one hitherto found 
on the British coast. ; 
12. Portree Harbour, Isle of Skye-—Sandy mud obtained 
near the point where a small stream empties itself into the sea, 
a little above high-water mark. For this material we are in-

the tide, but never left dry; depth, two to three fathoms; 
bottom, sandy gravel; the water in some degree brackish, 
early marine conditions than most of those included in the 
Table, and is remarkable from containing specimens of Ver-
