 depth, even if it was less than 100 fathoms.

CUBA. 



The Cuban collections are mainly from about Guantdnamo Bay, 

 Santiago, and Matanzas. Most of the material obtained near Santiago 

 is from the manganese mines, and contains a great number of individ- 

 uals and several species of Orthophragmina, which seems clearly to be of 

 Eocene age. The collections from near Guantanamo are rich in Lepi- 

 docyclina and evidently represent deposits of Oligocene age. A richly 

 fossiliferous, foraminiferal marl from near Matanzas, of Miocene age, 

 yielded 30 species of smaller Foraminif era, a list of which is given. The 

 table on page 30 shows the distribution at the different stations of the 

 larger and more important species from the eastern end of the island 

 about Santiago and Guant&namo. 



Some of the Eocene species seem to be related to those of St. Bartho- 

 lomew and the exposure near David, Panama.
