that its natural habitat is very shallow water. In the Montego Bay 

 material it is astonishingly abundant, the specimens giving color to 

 the finer material. It occurs at all the stations at Montego Bay, and 

 also from Runaway Bay. It was very abundant in from 1-3 fathoms 

 (2-5 meters), much less so in the 6-10 fathoms (11-18 meters) of the 

 deeper stations. I recorded a single specimen from the dock piles 

 at Woods Hole " which was very typical, but there are not any inter- 

 mediate records. I have recorded this species from Fort Jefferson 

 Channel, Tortugas, Florida, 12 and it occurs at other stations in the 

 Gulf of Mexico, always, so far as I have seen, in shallow water. 

 Egger 13 records T. rosea from West Australia in 90-359 fathoms (165- 

 656 meters) depth. Egger's figures, however, do not remotely sug- 

 gest the real characters of this species, and it is evidently not this 

 species. 



Just what the habits of this species are which keep it so closely 

 confined to shallow water in the West Indies, yet allow it to occur 

 there in such numbers, would be interesting to determine. Its color 

 is very attractive, being one of the few foraminifera showing a red 

 color. 



TRUNCATULINA CANDEIANA (d'Orbigny). 



Plate 13, figs. 4, 5. 

 Rosalina candeiana d'Orbigny, Foram. Cuba, 1839, p. 97, pi. 4, figs. 2-4. 



Specimens identical with this species as figured by d'Orbigny were 

 found at Montego Bay stations 4, 5, and 6, and from Runaway Bay. 

 D'Orbigny's specimens were from Cuba. 



This name has been entirely neglected since its application. It 

 seems to have been applied to a definite species, the distribution of 

 which outside the West Indian region is at present unknown. Most 

 of the specimens are close to the 0.5 mm. diameter given by d'Orbigny. 



TKUNCATULINA ANTILLARUM (d'Orbigny).

 Rosalina antUlarum d'Okbigny, Foram. Cuba, 1839, p. 75, pi. 5, figs. 4-6. 



Description. — Test nearly equally convex, punctate, margin cari- 

 nate, spire conical, slightly convex ; chambers seven in the last-formed 

 coil, curved and oblique from above; sutures obliquely curved; below 

 triangular, the sutures straight and radial; aporturo elongate, slightly 

 curved as the inner margin of the chamber. Diameter, 0.5-1 mm. 



This is another of the species described by d'Orbigny which has 

 been entirely neglected. Material from Montego Bay, stations 5 and 

 6, is very close to the original figures of d'Orbigny's Monograph. 

 D'Orbigny's specimens were from Cuba and Jamaica.
