6tli. All the fish are identical with species known ia formations 

 classed as Upper Eocene or Miocene, 



Note. — In addition to the ForaminifercB mentioned in the former 

 Paper {1. c. p. 40), Mr. Rupert Jones informs me that the following 

 also occur : — 



Frondicularia. Dendritina. Orbitolites. 



Amphistegina. Orbiculina. Quinqueloculina, &c. 



These are, for the most part, recent forms. 



Note. — Since the ahove was written, Mr. G. H. Saunders, F.G.S., 

 has presented to the Society a series of fossils found a few months 

 since hy Mr. J. T. Green in some shelly beds on the eastern side of 

 the Isthmus of Panama, about 2^ miles from the shores of Navy 

 Bay, and at the height of about 1 5 feet above the Atlantic, in a 

 cutting of the Panama Railway. Some of the shells are well-pre- 

 served, and others are in the condition of casts. The general aspect 

 both of the fossils and of the rock strongly reminds one of the San 

 Domingo specimens. On a cursory examination I find that there 

 are above twenty species, and some of them unquestionably identical 

 with the fossils collected by Col. Heneken in San Domingo. The 

 following is a list of those of the best-preserved specimens that occur 

 in both of the localities : — 



Oliva cylindrica, Soiverby. Phos, unnamed sp. 



, unnamed species. Strombus bifrons, Sow. 



Natica subclausa, Sowerby. , east of unnamed species. 



sulcata, Desk. Murex Domingensis, Sow. 



Malea, unnamed sp. 



In addition to these, there are Conus, two species ; one of which 

 may be identical with a S. Domingo species. 



Turrifella, two ; one of them closely allied, if not identical with, 

 a S. Domingo species. 



Venus, one. 



Cardium, one ; very like a S. Domingo species. 



Tellina, one. 



Sanguinolaria, one. 



Ostrea, one ; like a S. Domingo species. 



Pecten, Teredo, &c. 



Notes on the Fossil Corals of San Domingo. 

 By W. Lonsdale, F.G.S. 



The corals, to which this memorandum refers, are limited, with four 

 exceptions, to those originally labelled by Mr. Heneken "Nivaje" 

 and "Tufaceous Limestone;" and the four have been included, 

 because they bear every indication of having belonged to those de- 

 posits, with no signs of having been drifted. The collection of St. 

 Domingo corals, most obligingly submitted to inspection by Mr. J. 

 C. Moore, contains, however, two other interesting series, procured
