TABLE III.— THE FOKAMINIFERA OF RED CLAY. 
The following Table contains the record of the Foraminifera obtained from fourteen 
samples of Red Clay dredged in areas far apart, and under various conditions as to 
latitude and depth of water. 
The Foraminiferal fauna they reveal varies from something resembling that of a 
Globigerina Ooze (A, K, N), to one consisting mainly or almost exclusively of arena- 
ceous species (E, G). But though pelagic forms, Globigerince, Pulvinulince, and others, 
are almost invariably present to a greater or less extent, their shells are relatively few 
in number, and generally exhibit a worn and corroded appearance. Perhaps the most 
remarkable fact in connection with the calcareous perforate Foraminifera of these deposits 
is the great abundance in certain cases (F, L) of minute Lagence, many of which are 
endowed with superficial ornament of extraordinary delicacy and beauty. In rare 
instances Milioline shells are met with, in which the normal calcareous test is replaced 
by a delicate film of silica.
