FORAMINIFERA. 
_ Tam indebted to Mr Robertson for indentifying a few of the species 
‘in this group mentioned below ; and also for notes of the occurrence of 
others which have not as yet come under my own observation. 
MILIOLIDA, 
Miliolina tricarinata (d’Orbigny).

No. 7 a; Modelé, No. 94 (1826). 
Miholina tricarinata, H. B. Brady, Foram. Chall. Exped., p. 165, 
pl. iii. fig. 17, a—) (1884). 
|‘ Habitat.— Vicinity of Bass Rock. This species is easily distinguished 
from WM. trigonula by the three sharp keel-like ridges extending from end 
to end and about equidistant from each other. . It is much rarer in the 
Forth then, M. trigonwla..

Miliolina ‘fusca, Robertson, Fauna and. Flora ofthe W. of Scotland, 
p. 51 (1876). 
Habitat.—Brackish water pools by the shore near Aberlady, common. 
This is an arenaceous species. It is much smaller than M/. agglutinans, 
and frequently dark brownish in colour. It is considered to be a some- 
_ what rare species, and seems confined to water more or less brackish.
