Gaudryina fdijormis. Berthelin. Several speci- 
mens, similar in appearance to the small variety 
found on the Irish coast by Mr. J. Wright. 
Nodosaria calomorpha. Rem*. One very fine 
specimen, having four chambers, a very unusual 
number. 
Spirillina vivipara. Ehrenherg. A good many 
specimens of this form were observed. 
A considerable number of foramioifera were 
observed which were evidently fo*siis derived 
from the Miocene strata of the island. Tlw-e 
included many of the commoner fossil fori 
Globigerina, Truncatulina praccincta, Ac. Ac. 
Several weak and doubtful specimens were also 
obtained from the gathering which cannot at 
present be assigned to any species with cer- 
tainty. 
A complete list of the foraminifera observed in 
the gathering follows. It .should be noted that 
the words ‘‘Common,' “Bare,” etc. following a 
form, refer to its relation to other foraminifera 
only, and not to the bn lk of the gathering, of 
which the whole of the foraminifera form only a 
small proportion.
