<p>These are called Namecoin blocks and you can see your reward for all those blocks by checking out your reward section. You'll see a toggle above the rewards table on the right to switch between Bitcoin and Namecoin blocks. These blocks have a much lower value than normal Bitcoin blocks and so your reward is very small. The number of confirmations needed for these blocks is also very small compared to normal blocks.
