in a dredging from Fintry Bay, Cumbrae, in 10 to 12 fathoms.

Rare in Montrose Basin and the north-eastern estuaries ; 
still rarer in the Fen gatherings; entirely absent from the 
brackish areas examined on the west of Scotland.

rare; single specimens from Montrose Basin and the 
estuaries of the Alne and Blyth. Again one specimen alone 
amongst the Fen microzoa (Breydon Water).

Nodosaria (Glandulina) levigata, D'Orbigny (1826), Ann. Sci. Nat. vol. 
vii. No. 1, pl. 10. figs. 1-3. 
A solitary example from the Scheldt near Antwerp is the 
only occurrence of Glandulina levigata in brackish water we 
have note of. 
It is altogether rare as a recent species. Mr. Waller found 
three or four specimens in deep water off Shetland; and 
Messrs. Parker and Jones obtained it off the coast of Norway. 
It is difficult to account for its presence in the Scheldt. The 
other microzoa (except Lagena pulchella) were of the ordinary 
brackish type, so far as could be judged from the limited 
number at our command.

This species, common everywhere on our coast in really 
marine localities, does not flourish where the water contains 
less than its normal proportion of saline ingredients. A few 
sat small examples from Montrose Basin, the Frith of Forth, 
and the estuary of the Aln constitute our collection from
