 Tliis species also is from my North Lancashire material, but it is 

 not so fine as some of the Irish examples given to me by Mr. Howchin. 

 The species is very rare, and not always in a good state of preservation. 



Horizon and Localities. — Scaur Limestone: Skelly Gate (Brady)^ 

 Northumberland. Yoredale: Gleaston Castle, North Lancashire. 

 Other localities given by Mr. Brady : Sturaway Mine, North Wales ; 

 Abden, Scotland; Castle Espie, Ireland.

 This species is rather more abundant in the Northern Shales, but 

 I have not been successful in obtaining many examples in my 

 Northumberland material. In his remarks on this species, Mr. 



Brady says, " The Indiana limestone is a very 



remarkable microzoic rock. In appearance it is not unlike a white 

 Oolite, but almost every individual grain is a specimen of this 

 rotaliform Foraminifera ; there is indeed scarcely enough of the 

 calcareous matrix to cement the fossils permanently together." 



Horizon and Localities, — Scaur Limestone : Redesdale, Skelly 

 Gate. Mr. Brady gives several other localities for the species in 

 Northumberland. Yoredale : Fourstones, Ingoe, Northumberland; 

 Hurst, Yorkshire (several localities, Brady). 

 10 Endothyra ammonoides Brady. 



1876. Monog. Carb. and Perm. Foram., p. 94, pi. v., figs. 5-6. 

 This beautifully transparent species is the most abundant of all 

 the Scotch Foraminifera, but in Gair it is exceptionally abundant in 

 the finest mud-like sifdngs. When years ago I was washing the 

 virgin clay from this locality, I was surprised to see the quantity of 

 mud passing through my hands before my fossils were Apparently 

 clean. Before, however, I had completed the washing, I gathered 

 up some of the fine mud and examined it under the microscope it 

 was well I did, because this stuff was literally crammed with minute
