90 GEOLOGY AND PALEONTOLOGY OF THE WEST INDIES. 



Family CRIBRILINID^: Hincks, 1880. 



Genus PUELLINA Jullien, 1886. 



Puellina radiata carolinensis Gabb and Horn, 1862. 



(Plate 1, Figure 12.) 



Reptescharella carolinensis Gabb and Horn, Journal Academy Natural Science, Philadelphia, 

 5, p. 136, plate 19, fig. 18, 1862. 



This variety is characterized by its smooth peristome, without 

 tuberosities, and by the small canal of the avicularium, which is larger 

 than in the type. 



In reality the spines have not disappeared; on the perfect specimens 

 they are still visible; but they never have the size and importance of 

 those which decorate the type. The zocecia are a little larger and have 

 16 costules. 



Occurrence. Jacksonian of South Carolina and Alabama; Vicks- 

 burgian of Alabama; Oligocene (Anguilla formation), southwest side 

 of Crocus Bay Bluff, 125 feet above sea-level, Anguilla (loc. No. 6967) ; 

 Oligocene (Antigua formation), Rifle Butts, Antigua (loc. No. 6854), 

 T. W. Vaughan, collector. 



Family ESCHARELLID^E Levinsen, 1909. 



Genus SCHIZOPODRELLA Canu and Bassler, 1917. 



Schizopodrella (?) mutabilis, new species. 



(Plate 6, Figures 3 to 5.) 



The following is a description of this species : 



The zoarium is unilamellar, tubular; it incrusts the fine radicells of algae. 

 The zooecia are little distinct, elongate, elliptical; the frontal is little convex, 

 surrounded by areolar pores and garnished with some large tremopores. The 

 apertura is elongate, oval, with a wide rimule separated from the anter by two 

 salient condyles. 



Measurements. Apertura: /ia = 0.18 to 0.20 mm., la = 0.12 mm.; zooecium: 

 1/2 = 0.70 mm., Jz = 0.34 mm. 



Affinities. The very thick incrustation of the tremocyst renders the 

 aspect of the species quite changeable and sometimes absolutely un- 

 recognizable. 



We have not discovered the ovicell, so the classification naturally 

 remains doubtful. 



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

 (Bluff 3), Santo Domingo.
