32 SHALLOW-WATER FORAMINIFERA OF TORTUGAS REGION. 
This species, which was originally described by d’Orbigny in his 
Cuban monograph and recorded by him from Cuba and Jamaica, 
I found also at Montego Bay, Jamaica. 
In the Tortugas collection this is a very abundant species, and fits 
remarkably well the figure and description given by d’Orbigny. 
The triserial portion is limited to the very earliest development, and 
except for the slight irregularity in the arrangement of the chambers, 
the later portion might easily be taken for a Bolivina. It is probably 
widely distributed in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean regions 
in similar habitats. In spite of the numerous specimens, it shows 
remarkably little variation. 
Family LAGENIDZ. 
Genus NODOSARIA Lamarck, 1812. 
Nodosaria (Glandulina) rotundata (Reuss).

Nodosaria (Glandulina) rotundata H. B. Brady, Rep. Voy. Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, 
p. 491, pl. 61, figs. 17 to 19.—Flint, Ann. Rep. U. 8. Nat. Mus., 1897 (1899), p. 
308, pl. 54, fig. 5—Millett, Journ. Roy. Mier. Soc., 1902, p. 510.—Cushman, 
Bull. 71, U. S. Nat. Mus., pt. 3, 1913, p. 47, pl. 28, fig. 6. 
Test oval or subovate, broadest in the middle, composed of few chambers, 
apical end broadly rounded, without spines, apertural end more elongate, 
aperture with radiate lines about the margin; last-formed chamber occupying 
one-half or more of the visible test. 
Length of the Tortugas specimens 0.8 mm. 
The species occurred at but one station and as a single specimen. 
This is very typical, as shown (plate 4, fig. 1). 
Nodosaria sp.? 
(Plate 4, Figure 2.) 
There is a single two-chambered specimen of a costate species, 
which is evidently the young, possibly of Nodosaria vertebralis 
(Batsch). A figure of this is given (plate 4, fig. 2). In its general 
characters it may be compared to the two-chambered specimen 
figured by d’Orbigny (in De la Sagra, Hist. Fis. Pol. Nat. Cuba, 
1839, ‘‘Foraminiféres,” plate 1, figs. 8 to 10), which he named 
Nodosaria catesbyt. There are no adult specimens, so it is impossible 
to determine to what species this should belong. 
Genus CRISTELLARIA Lamarck, 1812. 
Cristellaria sp.? 
(Plate 4, Figure 3.) 
The specimen figured (pl. 4, fig. 3) is the only one of its genus found 
in the collection from the Tortugas region. It is few-chambered 
and small; therefore may be a young, rather than an adult, specimen, 
and as such I hesitate to place it definitely under any specific name.
