462 GLOBIGERINA-LIMESTONES OE MALTA. [A-Ug. 1 896, 



part of H and G, F, E, D, composed to a large extent of Globigerina 

 and other pelagic organisms, were probably deposited in about 

 1000 fathoms ; while C, B, and A were probably laid down, like I 

 and the lower part of H, in about 300 fathoms of water. 



Discussion-. 



Dr. J. "W. Gregory expressed his appreciation of the work done 

 by the Author in zonal collecting from Malta. He was glad to 

 find that his detailed collections supported the correlation and 

 classification of the Maltese rocks which the speaker had suggested 

 from the study of the Echinoidea. 



Dr. Woodward expressed regret that he had not arranged to send 

 up from the British Museum (Natural History) a series of specimens 

 left with him in illustration of this paper. He bore testimony to the 

 great labour which the Author had expended in conducting the 

 researches on the (rZo&^mwa-limestones of Malta, to the working 

 out of which he had been urged by Dr. John Murray. The Author 

 had not only laboured to perfect the paleontology, but had also 

 had several analyses made by chemists to strengthen the evidence 

 in his paper.
