Wright — Foraminifera of North-East of Ireland. 
To my friend Mr. H. B. Brady, F.R.S., I am much indebted for the kind 
assistance rendered me in identifying the critical species ; and to my friends Mr. 
W. Gray, M.R.I.A. ; Mr. S. A. Stewart, F.B.S.E. ; and Mr. W. Swanston, 
F.G.S., for the valuable help they gave me in supplying material for examina- 
tion, from various localities not visited by myself. 
The following notes on some of the forms found may be of interest The 
LagencB were among the most interesting, and occurred in great abundance, 
both in numbers and species, in the Estuarine Clay at Limavady Junction. 
All our recent British species of Lagena , except crenata , were found at this place. 
Trigonal varieties of our flat Entosolenian Lagenas were very numerous. All 
the British forms had here their three-sided representatives — viz., marginata , 
lucida , ornata , lagenoides, and pulchella (small), as well as two examples of a 
four-sided marginata. These, though curious and interesting, are after all 
but subvarietal modifications of the types, not even ranking as good varieties. 
I have recorded in the list trigono-marginata , (trigono) oblonga, and trigono- 
ornata, as being the best and most characteristic of these varieties. 
Lagena striato-punctata, P. and J. 
This species, now so rare in British water, is abundant in the Esfuarine 
Clay at Magheramome and Limavady Junction j also, a variety very small in 
size, and having only six longitudinal ribs. 
Lagena aspera, Reuss. 
Lagena hispida, Reuss. Wright, Rec. Forams. of Down and Antrim—

A small Lagena, covered with blunt spines, having a tendency at times to 
run in longitudinal lines. 
Lagena hispida, Reuss. 
Lagena Jejpreysii, Brady MS. Wright, Rec. Forams. of Down and 
Antrim— Belfast Nat. Field Club Rep., Appendix 1876-7, PI. IY, fig. 15. 
A few examples of this rare Lagena have been met with in the Estuarine 
Clay at Limavady Junction. 
Bulimina subteres, Brady. 
Brady, Notes on Reticularian Rhizopoda of the Challenger Expedition- 
Quart. Jour. Micr. Sci., Vol. XX, New Series. 
Not unfrequent in the Estuarine Clay at Limavady Junction. This species 
has only within the last twelve months been recorded as recent on our coasts.
