This is another of the species of the West Indies which d'Orbigny 

 does not seem to have had in his material. Brady gives it as plentiful 

 amongst the West Indies. Very typical material was obtained at 

 Montego Bay, in 6 fathoms (11 meters). 



Genus PULVINULINA Parker and Jones, 1862.

Rotalia menardii d'Orbigny, Ann. Sci. Nat., vol. 7, 1826, p. 273, No. 26; Modeles,

This species, a pelagic one of open oceans, was not recorded by 

 d'Orbigny in his Cuban Monograph. It did not occur in the shallow 

 water material at Montego Bay or Runaway Bay, but rare specimens 

 were found at the deeper stations at Montego Bay in 9 and 10 fathoms, 

 (16 and 18 meters) evidently coming in from open water. 



PULVINULINA OBLONGA (Williamson).

1884, p. 688, pi. 106, figs. Aa-c. 



A single specimen of this species was found in the dredging from 

 10 fathoms (18 meters), Montego Bay. Specimens of this general 

 form are common in the tropics, both in the West Indian region and 

 in the tropical Pacific, but need close study to determine whether or 

 not they all belong to one species. 



Genus ASTERIGERINA d'Orbigny, 1839. 



ASTERIGERINA CARINATA d'Orbigny. 



Plate 11, figs. 6-8. 



Asterigcrina carinata d'Ohbigny, Foram. Tuba, 1839, [>. US, pi. 5, fig. 25; pi 

 6, figs. 1-2. 



D'Orbigny described this species from shore sands of Cuba and 

 Jamaica. In the material both from Runaway Bay and Montego 

 Bay this is one of the most common of the species found. It is very 

 d -finite in its characters, and shows that Asterigerina, at least as far
