Sir John Lubbock exhibited specimens of fossiliferous limestones 

 from the valley of Lauterbrunnen at Miirren, some little way below 

 the Hotel. He pointed out the locality to Mr. Etheridge, who 

 would also exhibit some specimens. The specimens contain Num- 

 mulites Ramondi, Orhitoides dispansus, etc., as determined by Prof. 

 T. Eupert Jones. 



Mr. Ethekidge referred to the position of the Orbitoidal lime- 

 stones on the slope of the Miirrenberg, and stated that Prof. T. P. 

 Jones had examined and named the foraminifera, etc. contained in 

 the several specimens collected by Sir John Lubbock and himself at 

 Miirren. 



Prof. T. Pupeet Jones stated that this rock contains small 

 Nummulites like iV. liamondi thinly scattered throughout the 

 mass. Also numerous larger discoidal forms, having brown interiors 

 and whitish exteriors, which seem to be Orhitoides, matching 0. dis- 

 jmnsus in size, and of which the inner parts have been altered by 

 iron oxide. Von Giimbel has figured something like it. Both the 

 Nummulites and Orhitoides mostly lie parallel with the lamina3 of 

 the shearing, but in some cases at different angles. There are also 

 some small pieces of jSTummulitic shell. At least one Potalian shell 

 is visible in section. Fragments of polyzoa are recognizable. The
