section, which shows rocks and characters entirely differing from 

 those of the Tultcha range. We have here an upper member of the 

 same group, if of the same age : or it belongs to a newer formation.

 Sel), Lake Baselm. 



a. A red conglomerate. The fragments which it contains are of 



schists and shales, but there are none of limestone ; neither 

 are they rounded, as if water- worn. 



b. Compact limestone, grey and reddish, much veined, and semi- 



crystalline ; 20 feet thick. 



c. Compact calcareous strata, associated with schists and shales, 



thinly stratified, and fully 50 or 60 feet thick ; but, being over- 

 laid by the superficial marls (d), they are not fully seen. The 

 beds c correspond with the thinly stratified grey and yellow 

 calcareous shales forming the next cape or promontory to the 

 south, called Dolashina, where they contain Inocerami. Here 

 also they lie nearly horizontal, and are again capped by the 

 superficial drift, which extends thence to Cape Media, where the 

 dark vertical shales appear, and then the cream-coloured Inoce- 

 ramus-limestones ; followed by the Chalk at Kanara, described 

 in my former papers*. 



Thus supplying some links in the line of research, it is hoped that 

 these notes and remarks will, by the aid of the fossils already pre- 

 sented to the Society, throw some bight on the geology of the 

 Dobrutcha. 



3. On the Rhizopodal Fauna of the Mediterranean, compared with 



that of the Italian and some other Tertiary Deposits. 

 By T. Rupert Jones, Esq., F.G.S. and W. K. Parker, Esq., Mem.M.S. 



Introduction. — The Mediterranean has been the source whence a 

 large number of the known species of Foraminifera have been de- 

 rived. Beccarius (1731); Plancus (Bianchi, 1739), Gualtieri (1742), 

 Ginanni (1755), Soldani (1780 & 1789), and Fichtel and Moll de- 

 rived most of the material for their notices of these microscopic 

 shells from the Mediterranean. D'Orbigny also and later naturalists 

 have drawn largely from this rich source. 



Of late years, we have been favoured with the results of many 

 dredgings taken in different parts of the Mediterranean by Prof.
