VINE : MICRO-PALEONTOLOGY. 



This curious group of Foraminifera I should rather prefer to give 

 on the authority of Mr. Brady than on my own, although I have 

 several of the species from different Northern localities. 



15 Stacheia marginulinoides Brady. Monog. Carb. and Perm. 

 Foram., p. 112, pi. vii., figs. 16-21. 



This I have recorded for Redesdale, but Mr. Brady does not give 

 it as a Scaur Limestone form in the Northern Shales, but he quotes it 

 in the Lower Limestone series of Scotland. 



16 Stacheia pupoides Brady. (Monog. Carb. and Perm. Foram., 



p. 115, pi. viii., figs. 17-27.) Scaur Limestone: Skelly 

 Gate, but rare. Yoredale: Fourstones, Northumberland; 

 Hurst, North Yorkshire. 



17 Stacheia acervalis Brady. (Op. cit., p. 116, pi. ix., figs. 6-8.) 



Yoredale : Fourstones (?). 



18 Stacheia fasiformis Brady. (Op. cit, p. 114, pi. 8, figs. 12-16.) 



Scaur Limestone: Skelly Gate (?). 



19 Stacheia congesta (?) Brady. (Op. cit., p. 117, pi. ix., figs. 



1-5.) Forms doubtful. 



20 Stacheia polytrematoides Brady. 



=: S. polytremoides Vine. (See ante, fist, p. 39, No. 24.) 

 = 6". polytrei7iatoides Brady. Monog. Carb. and Perm. 

 Foram., p. ir8, pi. ix., figs. 10-13. 

 My examples of this species derived from the Northumberland 

 Shales are rather poor and dwarfish, but from one locality in the 

 North Lancashire material specimens are fine, and the areolated 

 surfaces well marked. My North Yorkshire specimens I place rather 

 doubtfully here.

Genus TEXTULARIA Defrance. 



Mr. Brady in his Monograph gives several references and also a 

 fairish number of synonyms, to which reference may be made; but 

 either the names Texhdaria Defrance, or Textilaria Ehrenberg, seems 

 to have been adopted by an almost equal number of authors. 



Shell free, regular, equilateral, conical, pyriform, oblong, or 

 cuneiform. Segments numerous, arranged in two alternate parallel
