FORAMINIFERA FROM DEEP WELLS 6l 



Lcf'idocyclina sp. ? 



Fragments of Lcpidocydina which are not identifiable were 

 obtained at numerous wells indicated in the previous report (r2th 

 Annual Report, 1919). These are too small and too poorly pre- 

 served to be of more than generic value. 



FAMILY MILIOLIDA^. 



Genus Quinqueloculina d'Orbigny, 1826. 



Quinqueloculina cf. poeyana d'Orbigny. 



Quinqueloculina poeyana d'Orbigny, in De la Sagra, Hist. Fis. Pol. Nat. 

 Cuba. "Foraminiferes," 1839, p. 191, pi. 11, figs. 25-27. Cushman, Bull. 676,

A specimen from 41-56 feet in the well of the Okeechobee 

 Ice and Electric Company at Okeechobee, has a sculpture consist- 

 ing of longitudinal costae, somewhat similar to that figured in 

 the references given above. The specimen from the welLis, how- 

 ever, somewhat broader and shorter, and may not belong to this 

 species. 



Specimens with similar sculpture but of different shape more 

 like 0. piilcheUa d'Orbigny, occur in the well at Marathon on 

 Key Vaca, at a depth of 1,140 feet. By their appearance they 

 may have come from the sides of the well far above this point as 

 they are excellently preserved and do not look like other material 

 from this depth. 



Quinqueloculina sp. 



Plate 3, figure 3. 



There is a fairly large species found in several of the wells 

 which is very peculiar in its sculpture. The exterior is either 

 rough or covered with a secondary granular coating. Where this 

 is worn through, a peculiar sculpture is seen, consisting of short 

 longitudinal elongate pits filled with fine granular material of the 

 surface. Specimens are not well enough preserved to show the 

 apertural characters. 



The species occurs with the conical form of Orbit olina in the 

 following wells : New City Well at Jacksonville, at a -depth of 

 845-900 feet; Ponce de Leon Well at St. Augustine, at 440 feet;
