I. Owen, * while dredging the surface of the Indian and Atlantic oceans, found Foraminifera of the geneia of Globigerina and P^dvmulina, and he remarks about the Polycistinse which accompany them : " There are no objects in nature more brilliant in their colouring or more exquisitely delicate in their forms and structure. Some are of but one colour, crimson, yellow, or blue; sometimes two colours are found on the same individual, but always separate, and rarely if ever mixed to form green or pu...rple. In a globular species, whose shell is made up of the most delicate fretwork, the brilliant colours of the sarcode shine through the little perforations very prettily/' With reference to the foraminiferal life on the surface of the ocean, H. B. Brady f says : " The Foraminifera, as a rule, are not of pelagic habit. On the contrary, by far the larger proportion, probably ninety-eight or ninety-nine per cent, of known recent species, including the whole of the porcellauous and arenaceous groups, and the bulk of the hyaline forms, inhabit the sand or mud of the sea bottom, and are endowed with no swimming or floating powers.
