AET. 14 FORAMINIFEEA FROM TRINIDAD — CUSHMAN AND JARVIS 33 



Holotype of vaWei^y.— U.S.N.M. No. 73820 (Cushman Coll. No. 

 15319), from Upper Cretaceous of pit at Lizard Springs near 

 Giiaj^aguayare, southeastern Trinidad, British West Indies. 



Remarks. — This variety is very distinctly marked and has the 

 greatest width of the chamber progressively becoming nearer the 

 base as chambers are added, but less distinctly so than in the 

 preceding variety. 



NODOSARIA MONILE t. Hagenow

Nodosana monile v. Hagenow, Neues Jabrb. fiir Min., 1842, p. 568.— Reuss, 

 Verstein. Bobm. Kreide, pt. 1, p. 27, pi. 8, fig. 7, 1845^6.— Fbankb, Abh. 

 Preuss. Geol. Landes.. v<»l. Ill, p. 31, pi. 2, figs. 27 o, b, 192S. 



Test elongate, very slightly tapering; chambers very distinct, 

 inflated, subglobular throughout; sutures distinct, depressed espe- 

 cially toward the later-formed portion; wall smooth; aperture ter- 

 minal, radiate, not projecting. Length, 1.5; diameter, 0.25 mm. 



This species is very close to that recorded as Nodosai'ia nuda.^ 

 That species, however, has the chambers becoming elongate in the 

 adult, while in N . monile the chambers are subglobular throughout 

 and show little tendency to lengthen. Our specimens are very close 

 indeed to those figured by Franke from Germany in the above 

 leference. 



NODOSARIA ORTHOPLEURA Reuss

Nodosaria orthopleura Reuss, Sitz. Akad. Wiss. Wien, vol. 46, pt. 1, p. 89, 

 pi. 12, figs. 5 a, J), 1862 (1863). 



Test very elongate, slightly tapering at each end, for most of its 

 length with the sides parallel or nearly so ; chambers numerous, not 

 inflated; sutures fairly distinct, slightly limbate; wall ornamented 

 by a few distinct elevated costae running from the base to the aper- 

 tural end; aperture terminal, radiate. 



The broken fragment shown here represents a portion of a large 

 specimen of this species which must have measured, when complete, 

 8 or 10 mm. in length.

The two specimens figured are referred to the above species of 

 Reuss, which he described from the Cretaceous of Germany. These
