in identifying, the different objects observed in the stomachs of fishes ; and 

 therefore more satisfactory and reliable information respecting the Jood of 

 fishes is now being collected. 



In preparing this paper the following among other works have been 

 consulted : — 



1850. Baird, British Entomostraca. 



1868. Williamson, Recent Foraminifem of Great Britain. 



1870. H. B. Brady, "The Foraminifera of Tidal Rivers, Annals and 



Magazine of Natural History. 

 1884. „ Foraminifera of the Challenger Expedition. 



„ G. S. Brady, Monograph of the British Copepoda. 

 1868. ,, Monograph of Recent British Ostracoda. 



1870. „ and David Robertson, The Ostracoda of Tidal 



Rivers. 

 1889. ,, and A. M. Norman, Monograph of the Marine and 



Fresh Water Ostracoda of the North Atlantic

I have also to acknowledge the kindness of Professor G. S. Brady, 

 F.R.S., Dr H. B. Brady, F.R.S., the Rev. A. M. Norman, D.C.L., F.L.S., 

 Rev. T. R. R. Stebbing, F.L.S., and Mr David Robertson, F.L.S., F.G.S., 

 in naming obscure and difficult species. Indeed, but for the help of these 

 gentlemen, this paper could not possibly have been so full or so valuable. 



FORAMINIFERA. 



I am indebted to Mr Robertson for indentifying a few of the species 

 in this group mentioned below ; and also for notes of the occurrence of 

 others which have not as yet come under my own observation. 



Miliolid^e. 



Miliolina tricarinata (d'Orbigny). 



• Triloculina tricarinata, d'Orb., Ann. Sci. Nat., tome vii. p. 277, 



No. 7 a ; Modele, No. 94 (1826). 

 Miliolina tricarinata, H. B. Brady, Foram. Chall. Exped., p. 165, 

 pi. iii. fig. 17, a-Z>(1884). 



Habitat. — Vicinity of Bass Rock. This species is easily distinguished 

 from M. trigonula by the three sharp keel-like ridges extending from end 

 to end and about equidistant from each other. It is much rarer in the 

 Forth then M. trigonula. 



Miliolina fusca, Brady. 2 - 



Miliolina fusca, Brady, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. iv., vol. vi. 



p. 286, pi. xi. fig. 2, a-c (1870). 

 Miliolina fusca, Robertson, Fauna and Flora of the W. of Scotland, 

 p. 51 (1876). 



Habitat. — Brackish water pools by the shore near Aberlady, common. 

 This is an arenaceous species. It is much smaller than M. agglutinans, 

 and frequently dark brownish in colour. It is considered to be a some- 

 what rare species, and seems confined to water more or less brackish.
