FOSSIL FORAMINIFERA FROM THE WEST INDIES. 49 



southwest side of Crocus Bay. Sections, plate 8, fig. 5, which also 

 seem to be Nonionina occur in the material from station 6117 from 

 the band of limestone, hill east of railroad and south of Cristo, near 

 Santiago, C. W. Hayes, collector. 



Polystomella sagra (d'Orbigny). 



Rotalina sagra d'Orbigny, in De la Sagra, Hist. Fis. Pol. Nat. Cuba, "Foraminiferes," p. 77, 

 plate 5, figs. 13 to 15, 1839. 



A single specimen very exactly fitting the figure given by d'Orbigny 

 was obtained in material from Bluff 2, Cercado de Mao, Santo Domingo. 

 It was also found in the marl from station 3461, gorge of Yumuri 

 River, Matanzas, Cuba, collected by T. W. Vaughan. It was also found 

 in the Miocene material from Panama Canal Zone. 



Polystomella lanieri d'Orbigny. 



Polystomella lanieri d'Orbigny, in De la Sagra, Hist. Fis. Pol. Nat. Cuba, "Foraminiferes," 

 p. 54, plate 7, figs. 12, 13, 1839. 



Specimens showing very little variation and almost precisely like 

 the figure given by d'Orbigny occur in both Zones H and I, Rio Cana, 

 and Bluffs 2 and 3, Cercado de Mao, Santo Domingo. Brady, in the 

 Challenger Report, places this species as a synonym of Polystomella 

 crispa Linne, but these fossil specimens are very different from the 

 typical P. crispa and are exactly like the figure of P. lanieri given by 

 d'Orbigny. In fact, most of our specimens might have been taken for 

 the illustration, so close are the essential details. It certainly seems 

 that this is a valid species and one common in the Tertiary and perhaps 

 the recent seas of the West Indies. 



Very typical material was also obtained at station 3461, marl from 

 gorge of Yumuri River, Matanzas, Cuba, collected by T. W. Vaughan. 



Polystomella striatopunctata (Fichtel and Moll). 



Polystomella striatopunctata (Fichtel and Moll), H. B. Brady, Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, 

 vol. 9, p. 733, plate 109, figs. 22, 23, 1884. 



Two specimens, rather more compressed and rounded in side view 

 than usual, are here assigned to this rather overworked species. It has 

 become the habit to place under this species almost any Polystomella 

 which has short and simple depressions close to the suture. The 

 specimens are from Bluff 3, Cercado de Mao, Santo Domingo. 



Heterostegina antillea, new species. 

 (Plate 2, Figure 1, 6; Plate 5, Figures 1,2.) 



The following is a description of this species : 



Test compressed, unequally lenticular, umbo excentric, somewhat thicker 

 than the remainder of the test, surface over the septal lines slightly raised in 

 a series of somewhat papillate ribs, area between granular; chambers regularly 

 curved, divided into numerous chamberlets. 



Diameter up to 6 mm. or more. 



Type specimens from U. S. G. S. No. 6869, Long Island, Antigua. 

 The vertical sections, plate 5, figure 1, which are probably the same
