Wkight — List of Irish Cretaceous Microzoa. 



LIST OF LOCALITIES FROM WHICH CHALK MICROZOA HAVE BEEN 

 OBTAINED:— 



1. Magheralin, Co. Down. Quarry about 3 miles S.W. of Moira. 

 Chalk powder in limited quantity — very rich in Microzoa. 



2. Moira, Co. Antrim. Quarry about half-a-mile N. of Moira station. 



A considerable quantity of Chalk powder was got in the flints at this 

 place ; it contained, however, but few Microzoa, and these usually in poor 

 condition. The powder was frequently found highly coloured, and appeared 

 to have been much altered by the action of heat 



3. Kilcorrig, Co. Antrim. Quarry about 3 miles N.W. ot Lisburn. 

 A little powder was found here, very poor in Microzoa. 



4. White Mountain, Co. Antrim, I mile N.E. of preceding locality. 



A little Chalk powder was found at this station, it was poor in Microzoa. 

 This is the only Irish locality where Lituola inflata has been found. 



5. Colin Glen, Co. Antrim, about 4! miles S.W. of Belfast. 



A few flints were met with up this glen, which yielded a little Chalk 

 powder, poor in Microzoa. 



6. Black Hill, near Hannahstown, Co. Antrim. Quarry 3^ miles from 

 Belfast, on the Hannahstown Road. 



The Chalk powder found at this quarry was very rich in Microzoa. Two 

 Foraminifera of great interest were met with, viz. : A new Bulimina, named 

 by Prof. T. Rupert Jones Bulimina regularis — this species is extremely rare, 

 only two specimens of it having as yet been found. The other, a Rotaline form, 

 taking the shape of Rotalia orbicularis, with regular openings into each cham- 

 ber ; only one example of this remarkable Rhizopod has been found. 



7. Wolf Hill, Co. Antrim. Quarry 2 miles N.W. of Belfast, near the 

 village of Ligoniel. 



The Chalk powder found here contained an abundance of the usual forms. 



8. Squire's Hill. Quarries near the village of Ligoniel, and not far from 

 the preceding station. 



The Chalk powder found in the flints at these quarries yielded the ordinary 

 Chalk Microzoa ; Sponge spicules occurred in great abundance.
