MR. W. K. PARKER AND PROFESSOR T. R. JONES ON SOME 
Appendix V. — The Foraminifera of the “ Celtic and Virginian ” Provinces of the North 
Atlantic , as a Fauna. 
The accompanying Table (No. IX.), already alluded to atp. 332, gives us a synoptical 
view of the Foraminifera of the “ Celtic Province,” including its western or “ Virginian” 
portion. Excepting that further research will enrich the “ Virginian” columns (Coralline 
and Coral zones of the American side of the Province), the Table comprises a complete 
Foraminiferal Fauna; and we believe that, by careful condensation of the multitudinous 
varietal forms under specific heads, we have fairly indicated the range and relative 
abundance of the members of a natural-history-group under such local conditions as 
naturalists have determined, chiefly by the aid of Mollusca and other marine animals, 
to belong to a more or less uniform zoological area. 
Professor Williamson’s ‘Monograph of the British Recent Foraminifera’ has (with 
corrections of nomenclature) supplied the first column, for the Littoral, Laminarian, 
Coralline, and Coral zones; Mr. H. B. Beady’s researches in the Shetland and other 
British Foraminifera give us the second column; the next four columns refer to the 
different parts of the North Atlantic from whence we have many of the Foraminifera 
described in this memoir; and the last two columns comprise what we know of the 
“ Virginian” Foraminifera, to which the Appendices Nos. II., III., & IV. have reference.
