  On 
  comparing 
  the 
  recent 
  Foraminifera 
  from 
  the 
  tidal 
  reaches 
  of 
  

   the 
  Dee 
  with 
  the 
  same 
  species 
  from 
  within 
  the 
  Tumtellce 
  in 
  the 
  

   Upper 
  Boulder-clay, 
  Mr. 
  Siddall 
  and 
  I 
  found 
  it 
  impossible 
  to 
  dis- 
  

   tinguish 
  the 
  one 
  group 
  from 
  the 
  other, 
  except 
  that 
  liotalia 
  Beccarii 
  

   and 
  Bulimina 
  pupoides 
  are 
  finer 
  in 
  the 
  Boulder-clay. 
  

  

  The 
  general 
  facies 
  of 
  the 
  Foraminifera 
  of 
  the 
  Upper 
  Boulder- 
  

   clay 
  appears 
  to 
  indicate 
  a 
  shallow 
  sea, 
  into 
  which 
  large 
  quantities 
  

   of 
  fresh 
  water 
  intermittently 
  flowed. 
  

  

  According 
  to 
  the 
  observations 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Mackintosh, 
  the 
  Upper 
  

   Boulder-clay 
  of 
  Cheshire, 
  Lancashire, 
  and 
  Cumberland 
  cannot 
  be 
  

   traced 
  much 
  higher 
  than 
  500 
  feet 
  above 
  the 
  present 
  sea- 
  level. 
  The 
  

   Foraminifera 
  and 
  MoLLusca 
  I 
  have 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Upper 
  Boulder-
