Our small fragments are quite sufficient for the determination of this 

 species. The dimensions of the opesium are not equal on the four 

 sides, one of which is often larger than the other. 



The authors are not in accord as to the name which should be given 

 to this species. We have adopted that of Busk. 



Occurrence. Lower Miocene (Bowden horizon), Cercado de Mao 

 (Bluff 3), Santo Domingo. 



Geological distribution. Lutetian of the environs of Paris (Canu); 

 Helvetian of Egypt (Canu); Miocene of Australia (Waters). 



This species also occurs in the recent seas off Florida (Smitt) and 

 the Isle of St. Thomas (Levinsen).

(Plate 1, Figure 2.) 



Only two specimens of this species have been collected in the Lee- 

 ward Islands. These are hardly sufficient for description of a new 

 Floridina, for polymorphism is the rule in this genus; but we believe
