Wright— For aminif era of Down and Antrim. 3 1 9 
The following notes in reference to some of the species found may be of 
interest : — 
XVXlllollna insignis, Brady. (PI. xxvi. fig. 4, a, b.) 
Miliolina insignis, Brady, 1882, Rep. Foram. H.M.S. Challenger p 165 
pi. 4, figs. 8-10. * 
This species, in contour, resembles Miliolina trigonula, but differs from 
it in the surface of the shell being marked by closely set, regular, longitudinal 
costae. Only two specimens were obtained. They were from gatherings 
taken a few miles apart. The size is small, and the surface ornamentation 
consists of faint longitudinal lines. New to Britain. 
IVSiliollna subrotunda, Montagu, sp. var. (PI. xxvi. fig. 5, a, bi) 
Vermicidum subrotundum, Montagu, 1803, Test. Brit., part 2, p. 521. 
This variety differs from the typical Miliolina subrotunda in having the 
peripheral edgo ornamented with somewhat irregular, oblique costze. Fre- 
quent in shallow water gatherings. 
Kyperammlna arborescens, Norman , sp. (PI. xxvi. fig. 1.) 
Psammatodendron arborescens (Norman MS.), Brady, 1881, Deukschr. d. 
K. Akad. Wiss. Wien, vol. xliii., p. 98, No. 13. 
Mr. Brady* thus refers to this species : — “ This interesting form was dis- 
covered by the Rev. A. M. Norman growing on a polyzoan ( Menipea ternata ), 
dredged during the cruise of the “Valorous ” off Holstenborg, Greenland, at 
the depth of 20 fathoms, and the name Psammatodendron arborescens was first 
assigned to it. The original specimen figured in Plate XXVIII. was most 
kindly lent to me by Mr. Norman when it was the only known example that 
was even approximately perfect. Quite recently, however, the species has 
been found in some abundance by Mr. David Robertson, off Cumbrae, on the 
west coast of Scotland.” A few years ago I found a fragment of it in sand 
which had been dredged by Mr. James Wright off Portrush, County Antrim. 
Three other localities, given in the “Challenger” Report, complete the list 
of places where the species has been found. Mr. Brady, however, adds “It 
is not improbable that when it is sought for it may turn out a very common 
species.” It has been found in the four “ Protector ” gatherings, and was 
abundant in two of them. 
Ammodlscus Shoneanus. Siddall, sp. 
Trochammina Shoneana, Siddall, 1878, Proc. Chester Soc. Nat. Sci., part 2 
p. 46, figs. 1, 2. 
This species has been found at only a few places, and, excepting at Rock- 
port, where a good many specimens were gathered, is very rare where it 
occurs. It was first found in the Dee (Siddall), afterwards at Rockport, 
Belfast Lough (Malcomson), Killybegs Harbour, Donegal (Wright), Dublin Bay
