Wright — Cretaceous Foraminifera of Ready Hill. 329 



quantity. The following is a List of the Foraminifera found. Twenty-seven of 

 the species are additions to the Cretaceous Fauna of Ireland, three of which are 

 new to Science. 



To my friend, Professor T. Rupert Jones, F.R.S., I am deeply indebted for 

 kind assistance in helping me in the identification of some of the critical species, 

 and also to my friend, S. M. Malcomson, M.D., for the very accurate and artistic 

 figures which accompany this paper. 



Species marked * are new to the Cretaceous Fauna of Ireland.
