belong-, according- to him, to Pscudophyllitcs Indra, Stol. sp. and Pachydiscus, sp- 
’La localité 4 de Snow Hill paraît, comme elle de file Seymour (loc. 8), appartenir a 
un horizon supérieur du Sénonien.’» Plate 6 shows »Locality 8» to be situated on 
what are known as the older series of the Seymour Island Beds, and dr. Gunnar 
Andersson in his table' of the probable succession of the Cretaceous beds of the 
Snow Hill-Seymour region sets down both »Locality 4» and »Locality 8» as Senonian. 
It will be noted that the label on the fifth tube bases the identification of the 
locality »on the complete similarity of the sample with the sediment», but there 
would seem from the descriptions quoted above to be at least a doubt whether the 
specimens may not have come from »Locality 8». In any case it seems to be 
assumed that the specimens came from the senonian beds and the only point in 
question is the exact place. 
My reason for dwelling at this length on the possible locality whence the fossils 
in the fifth tube were derived is that the specimens are only four in number, and 
they are all arenaceous forms. One of them is a very well preserved and remark- 
able Ammodisais and all I have felt obliged to describe as new species. 
II. The Foraminifera from the Cretaceous Beds. 
As already stated only four specimens were contained in the tube of material 
from the Cretaceous Beds. They are referable to the Genera Aimnodiscus and Troch- 
ammina and the Ammodiscus in particular is very well preserved. Judging from a 
very minute patch of the matrix adhering to the Amniodiscus that matrix consisted 
of exceedingly fine, light grey, sandy material. 
Family Lituolidæ. 
Sub-family Trochammininæ. 
Genus Ammodiscus, Reuss (1861) Test free, spiral; consisting of a non-septate 
tube, coiled regularly either on one plane, on an elongated axis, or in several tiers; 
or coiled irregularly. Texture finely arenaceous, surface smooth. 
Ammodiscus grandis, n. sp.

Test free, spiral, discoidal, thin — but rather thicker than is usual in this genus- 
peripheral edge rounded. Convolutions, in the specimen under description, few in
