The only records for this species in the region seem to be from a 

 single Tortugas station No. 23, on the outer side of Loggerhead Key, 

 inside the main reef. 



The surface is very finely striate, appearing almost smooth with a 

 low magnification. 



QUINQUELOCULINA LAEVIGATA d'Orbigny

Quinqueloculina laevigata d'Orbigny, Ann. Sci. Nat., vol. 7, 1826, p. 301, 

 No. 6; in Barker, Webb, and Berthelot, Hist. Nat. Isles Canaries, 1839, 

 vol. 2, pt. 2, "ForaminifSres," p. 143, pJ. 3, figs. 31-33. — Cushman, Publ. 

 311, Carnegie Insi it. Washington, 1922, p. 65, pi. 13, fig. 2. 



Specimens similar to the one figured here occur in the West Indian 

 region and may be referred to d'Orbigny's species. The surface is 

 not entirely smooth but shows slight traces of longitudinal costae. 

 The surface is smooth and polished, and the traces of costae are not 

 at first apparent. They seem very close to d'Orbigny's Q. laevigata.

A few specimens were found at the Tortugas which are evidently 

 identical with the species described by Chapman from the lagoon at 

 Funafuti in the Pacific. It is evidently an example of the occurrence 

 of a widely distributed Indo-Pacific species in the West Indian region. 



The specimens have an acutely angled periphery with a few oblique 

 costae not highly developed.

Test similiar to the typical form in ornamentation but short and 

 the chambers wedge-shaped, almost sharp at the peripheral angles. 



The types are from the Philippines but the species is well distrib- 

 uted in the Indo-Pacific. In the West Indies the species occurs at 

 Porto Rico and probably elsewhere.
