31 8 Wright— For aminif era of Down and Antrim. 
no doubt, is the reason why so few additions to the Foraminifera of our 
North-East Coast were obtained from the “Protector” gatherings. . S. M. 
Malcomson, M.D., had also made a most exhaustive search for Foraminifera 
in shore sand and rock pools in the vicinity of Rockport, Belfast Lough. At 
this place he found 87 different species, two of them— viz., Spiroplecta 
biformis and Placopsilina cenomana — being new to Britain. At my request, 
Dr. Malcomson very kindly furnished me with a list of the species which ha 
had found, and also their relative abundance. I have given the record of his 
discoveries in Column 5 of the table of geographical distribution. 
For the sake of completeness, I have given in the last column a list of the 
Foraminifera recorded in my former paper ( loc . cit.)* and at the end of the 
table the names of three species which had not been met with in either the 
“Protector” gatherings or at Rockport. The present list, therefore, com- 
prises all the species that are now known from this part of our coast, f 
In conclusion, I have to thank Mr. H. B. Brady, F.R.S., for his kind 
help and advice in the identification of some of the critical species. I am also 
much indebted to S. M. Malcomson, M.D., for the very accurate and artistic 
drawings which accompany this memoir.

Club, app. 1876-7. 
+ Of late years our increased knowledge of Foraminifera has necessitated many 
changes both in the names of the genera and species, and, in consequence of these altera- 
tions, a number of the species given in my paper on Foraminifera of Down and Antrim 
(1876-7) are now known by other names. The following is a list of the species which 
have been so altered, the names by which they had been recorded being given in italics. 
I have not , however, thought it necessary to note any changes which may have been made 
in the generic names, as such will be sufficiently obvious to the reader. 
Comuspira involvens, Rs. — Cornuspira foliacea, Phil. 
Haplophragmium pseudo spirale, Will .—Lituola nautiloidea, Lamk. 
Bolivina dilatata, Rs.= Textularia pygmcea, d’Orb. 
Lagena lineata, Will .^Lagena caudata , d’Orb. 
Lagena aspera, Rss. =* Lagena hispida, Rss. 
Lagena hispida, Rss .—Lagena Jeffrey di, Brady. 
Lagena laevigata, Rss .=Lagena lucida, Will. 
Lagena lagenoides, Will .^Lagena yrnata, Will. 
Marginulina costata, Ba,tsch.= Dent atina, obliquestriata , Rss. 
Polymorphic gibba, d’Orb., fistulose form ^.Polymorphina Orbignyi , Zbor. 
Gypsina versicularis, P. and J .=Tinoporus Isevis , P. and J. 
Gypsina inhserens, Schultze. = Tinoporus lucidus , Brady MS. 
The following names have been excluded from the present memoir, as they are not 
now considered good species, viz. Biloculina elongata, d’Orb; Spiroloculina canalieu- 
lata d’Orb. ; Triloculina Brongniartii, d’Orb. ; Lagena Lyellii, Seg.; Lagena tngono-margi- 
nata P. and J.; Lagena oblonga, Seg.; Dentalina guttifera, d’Orb.; Textularia vanabilis, 
Will • and Discorbina ochracea, Will. I have also thought it best to omit the following, 
as the’ specimens found were not typical, and, in consequence, their identification not as 
reliable as could have been wished, viz. :-Miliolina agglutinans, d’Orb.; Textularia 
trochus, d’Orb. ; Lagena distoma, P. and J. ; Lagena gracillima, Seg. ; and Nodosaria 
raphanus, Linn.
