68 GEOLOGY AND PALEONTOLOGY OF THE WEST INDIES. 



species occurs abundantly in the recent Philippine material, and Millett 

 records it from the Malay Archipelago under the name Miliolina 

 parkeri. This is a rather interesting distribution, corresponding some- 

 what with what Vaughan has shown for some genera of corals now 

 extinct in the West Indies, but found living in the Indo Pacific. 



Quinqueloculina parkeri (H. B. Brady) var. bowdenensis, new variety. 

 (Plate 14, Figure 6.) 



The following is a description of this variety : 



Variety differing from the typical mainly in the reduced amount of the 

 ornamentation, which in the variety consists of several short obliquely trans- 

 verse ridges confined to the periphery of the test, which is bluntly angled. 



Length 0.5 mm. 



Type specimen (U. S. N. M. No. 328200) from the Miocene Bowden 

 marl, Jamaica. 



The typical form of the species is known from the East Indian region 

 and the Red Sea. 



Quinqueloculina species (?). 

 (Plate 5, Figure 8.) 



A single section of a portion of a specimen of Quinqueloculina was 

 noted in a section from U. S. G. S. No. 6966, southwest shore of Crocus 

 Bay, Anguilla, 30 to 50 feet above sea-level. From what is present 

 this is apparently a smooth, angular species, but nothing further can 

 be made of its specific determination. 



Triloculina tricarinata d'Orbigny. 

 (Plate 14, Figure 4.)

Miliolina tricarinata H. B. Brady, Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, p. 165, plate 3, 

 figs. 17 o, 6, 1884. 



A single specimen of this tricarinate species was found in the Bowden 

 marl from Bowden, Jamaica. It is not sharply carinate, but the 

 aperture is very characteristic. 



Triloculina brongniartiana d'Orbigny. 



Triloculina brongniartiana d'Orbigny, in De la Sagra, Hist. Fis. Pol. Nat. Cuba, "Foramin- 

 iferes," p. 176, plate 10, figs. 6 to 8, 1839. 



A few finely striate specimens from the Bowden marl, Bowden, 

 Jamaica, are very similar to the figures of this species given by d'Or- 

 bigny from Cuba. In the Challenger Report, Brady refers this species 

 with a question to the later name T. boueana of d'Orbigny, but the two 

 seem to be distinct and the fossil specimens under consideration are 

 certainly very close to T. brongniartiana. Brady's reference to their
