Subkingdom PROTOZOA. 
Class RHIZOPODA. 
Order FORAMINXFERA. 
The beach at St. Andrews affords very ample opportunities 
for the study of the Rhizopods ; but unfortunately, with the 
exception of the Spongiada?, I am only able at present to give 
a list of a few common Foraminifera, which were kindly de¬ 
termined for me by Mr. H. B. Brady, of Newcastle, one of 
the highest authorities on the subject. They were obtained 
from shell-sand collected near the estuary of the Eden, and 
are forms common in shallow water and the littoral region.
