In its fully developed form this species is characteristic of 

 tropical shallow waters. 



It has been recorded from the Culcbra formation of the Pana- 

 ma Canal Zone in a somewhat different form from the recent 

 species of the Indo-Pacific. This same form is. apparently present 

 in the Florida wells, specimens very similar having been found in 

 the Ponce de Leon Well at St. Augustine from 88 feet, and 680 

 feet in the well at Fort Myers.

To this species have been assigned most forms of Polystomella 

 which have a rounded periphery and short retral processes. In the 

 American Miocene it is known from numerous states of the Coast- 

 al Plain, from the Panama Canal Zone, and from Santo Domingo. 



The only well record is that from 41-56 feet in the well of the 

 Okeechobee Ice and Electric Company at Okeechobee. 



Polystomella sp. ? 



At 880 feet in the City Well at Fort ]\Iyers, Lee County, there 

 occur numerous specimens of Polystomella which are almost all 

 casts and not at all well preserved. These, for the most part, have 

 rather short retral processes but have a large number of cham- 

 bers. Attention is called to them for possible later comparisons 

 with other localities.
