green glauconite grains, nearly all the remainder being beautifully 
preserved Foraminifera ; there are also numerous fish-bones and teeth, 
frequently exhibiting very fine borings of parasitic plants ; the shell 
fragments also show very good examples of the plant-borings ; and 
angular grains of quartz, more abundant than in the zones previously 
mentioned. In the fine washings are also the following Forami- 
nifera : — Textularia conica d’Orb., one specimen ; Textularia pygmsea 
Ess., very common ; Bolivina textularioides Ess., very common ; 
Pleurostomella eocsena Giimbel, frequent ; Lagena gracilis Will., one 
specimen ; Globigerina cretacea d’Orb., very common ; and Anomalina 
ammonoides Ess. sp., very common. 
Zone XI. 12 ft. from the top of the Gault. A pale-grey marly 
clay. A residuum after washing, 2£ per cent. The washings consist 
of a pale-grey sand, with numerous fish remains and coprolites; 
microzoa are tolerably common. The fine washings consist almost 
entirely of well-preserved Foraminifera, with a few glauoonite grains, 
numerous angular quartz-grains, fish-bones, and calcareous fragments 
with good parasitic plant-borings, and the following Foraminifera : — - 
Textularia pygmsea Ess., very common ; Textularia gramen d’Orb., 
one specimen ; Bolivina textularioides Ess., frequent ; Bamulina 
globulifera Brady, frequent ; Globigerina cretacea d’Orb., very 
common ; and Anomalina ammonoides Ess. sp., very common. 
Zone XI. 6 ft. from the top of the Gault. A pale-grey marly 
clay, with a residuum of 1 per cent, of pale-grey sandy material, con- 
taining fish remains and tiny coprolites. Microzoa are common. The 
fine washings contain glauconite, much angular quartz, fish remains 
with plant-borings, and a fish-tooth; also the following Forami- 
nifera: — Textularia pygmsea , Ess. frequent; Bamulina globulifera 
Brady, rare ; Globigerina cretacea d’Orb., common ; and Anomalina 
ammonoides Ess. sp., common. 
The new species of Ostracoda will be described, and all the species 
of the Gault will he tabulated in a paper shortly by Mr. C. D. Sherborn 
and myself. (See also ante , p. 567.) 
On the Foraminifera I now proceed to speak.

Nubecularia Defrance [1825]. 
Nubecularia depressa, plate IX. fig. 1. 
This form consists of six more or less flask-shaped chambers, dis- 
posed in a curved line; slightly depressed, and adherent, in this 
example, to a fish-scale. The test has the true porcellanous appear- 
ance, being milky white. At the junction of the two last chambers 
the . stoloniferous tube divides. Only one specimen was found. 
Zone XI., 35 ft. from the top of the Gault.
