Abstract
I DESIRE permission to state, in your journal, my entire agreement with the explanation of the actual structure of this fossil given by Dr. Carpenter in. the Ann. Nat. Hist, for April. Though it may not be necessary to corroborate, in any way, the decisions of so great an authority on Foraminifera, or to add to illustrations so clear and convincing, my testimony may not be without its value; since, in addition to work in micro-geology extended over more than thirty years, and some familiarity with modern Foraminifera, I have, in the original examination of Eozoön, undertaken at the request of Sir William Logan, studied larger suites of specimens of typical Eozoön, and of materials supposed to resemble it, not only from Canada, but from other localities, than any other person.
