Introduction. 
The specimens here described are comprised in four collections ; namely — 
1. From Baffin’s Bay, between 76° 30' and 74° 45' North Latitude. These specimens 
are derived from seven deep-sea soundings made during one of the Arctic Expedi- 
tions under Sir Edward Parry. These soundings were confided to us by Professor 
Huxley, of the Museum of Practical Geology, Jermyn Street, to which Institution 
they had been given in April 1853 by Mr. J. W. Lowry, who received them of 
Mr. Fisher, Assistant-Surgeon in the Expedition alluded to. The Foraminifera 
obtained by us from these soundings are tabulated in Tables I., IV., and VII. 
This material from the “Arctic Province” of Naturalists is but scanty. None of the 
Foraminifera here obtained are numerous, except Polystomella striatopunctata, Nonionina 
Scapha, Truncatulina lobatula, and Cassidulina laevigata ; the first two of which are at 
home in Arctic waters : and none have attained here a large size except Lituolae. The 
material from 150 fathoms yielded these relatively large and numerous specimens.
