  W. 
  SHONE 
  ON 
  THE 
  DISCO 
  VEEY 
  OF 
  FOKAMXNIFERA 
  ETC. 
  

  

  yielded 
  abundantly 
  Foraminifera 
  and 
  Ostraeoda, 
  and 
  that 
  those 
  

   wholly 
  filled 
  with 
  the 
  red 
  clay 
  in 
  which 
  they 
  were 
  imbedded 
  con- 
  

   tained 
  scarcely 
  any, 
  would 
  appear 
  to 
  suggest 
  that 
  the 
  former 
  

   had 
  been 
  transported 
  to 
  their 
  present 
  positions 
  by 
  the 
  same 
  agency 
  

   which 
  brought 
  the 
  pebbly 
  gravel 
  and 
  striated 
  erratics 
  which 
  lie 
  

   mingled 
  with 
  them 
  in 
  the 
  clay. 
  

  

  On 
  examining 
  the 
  clay 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  Turritellce 
  lay 
  imbedded, 
  I 
  

   found 
  that 
  it 
  contained 
  from 
  three 
  to 
  six 
  shells 
  of 
  Foraminifera 
  per 
  

   cubic 
  inch. 
  I 
  obtained 
  from 
  it 
  about 
  twenty 
  Foraminifera 
  of 
  five 
  

   species 
  identical 
  with 
  those 
  occurring 
  in 
  the 
  Turritellce, 
  but 
  more 
  

   worn 
  and 
  fossilized*. 
  I 
  will 
  not, 
  however, 
  at 
  present 
  venture 
  an 
  

   opinion 
  as 
  to 
  whether 
  the 
  Foraminifera 
  found 
  free 
  in 
  the 
  clay 
  lived 
  

   in 
  situ, 
  or 
  were 
  washed 
  out 
  of 
  Turritellce 
  filled 
  with 
  them 
  previ- 
  

   ously 
  to 
  being 
  transported 
  hither 
  from 
  some 
  distant 
  shores. 
  

  

  I 
  am 
  indebted 
  to 
  my 
  friend 
  Mr.
