This is one of the common tropical species not recorded by d'Or- 

 bigny in the Cuban Monograph. It may not be common in the West 

 Indies. A single typical specimen was found in material from sta- 

 tion 6 at Montego Bay.

Plate 18, figs. 2-5. 

 Articulina sagra d'Orbigny, Foram. Cuba, 1839, p. 183, pi. 9, figs. 23-26. 



Typical specimens were dredged at Montego Bay in 9 and 10 fath- 

 oms (16 and 18 meters), but they are rare. D'Orbigny records it 

 from Cuba, Jamaica, and Martinique. 



ARTICULINA LINEATA H. B. Brady. 



Plate 18, fig. 6. 



Articulina lineata H. B. Brady, Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, 

 p. 183, pi. 12, figs. 19-21. 



Brady described this species from the Fiji Islands, Torres Strait, 

 and off the Bermudas, depths ranging from 155-435 fathoms (283- 

 796 meters), and it has since been recorded in other tropical parts 

 of the world. 



Specimens were found in the material from stations 4 and 6 in 

 Montego Bay. 



Genus BILOCULINA d'Orbigny, 1826. 



BILOCULINA SUBSPHAERICA d'Orbigny. 



Biloculina subsphaerica d'Orbigny, Foram. Cuba, 1839, p. 162, pi. 8, figs. 25-27. 



Specimens agreeing with this small species are common at Kuna- 

 way Bay and at stations 4, 5, and 6 at Montego Bay. They are all 

 very small, but have the characters described by d'Orbigny in shape 

 of aperture, bifid tooth, and the slight curve of the chamber in side 

 view. 



DIOrbigny's specimens were from Cuba and Jamaica.
