ART. 3 NEW SPECIES OF FORAMINIFERA ^VAUGHAN" 3 



genus up to the time of the preparation of my manuscript. The 

 nomenclature of that paper needs to be modified by referring Pseu- 

 dophragmina to the synonymy of Discocyclina and by substituting 

 Asterocyclina for Asteriacites and placing it as a subgenus under Dis- 

 cocyclina.^ The species described in that paper as Orhitoclypeus? 

 cristensis is now referred to Discocyclina. One species that should 

 have been included in my summary escaped my attention. It is 

 Orhitolites oregonensis K. v. W. Palmer from beds of supposedly 

 middle Eocene age in Oregon.^ The species does not belong to Orhi- 

 tolites, but to Discocyclina and is very close to, if not a synonym of, 

 D. clarki Cushman. 



Subsequent to the publication of my summary the following spe- 

 cies have been added: 



Subgenus Discocyclina Giimbel 



D. mirandana H. K. Hodson, Amer. Pal. Bull., vol. 12, p. 8, pi. 1, figs. 3, 



10, 13, 1926. Eocene, Venezuela. 

 D. per/cinsi Vaughan, Journ. Pal., vol. 1, p. 285, pi. 46, figs. 4, 5, 1928.

 D. citrensis Vaughan, Fla. Geol. Survey, 19th Ann. Rept., p. 159, pi. 2, 



figs. 1-5, 1928. Upper Eocene, Ocala limestone, Florida. 



Dr. H. G. Schenck has in press the description of a new species 

 from California. 



Subgenus Aktinocyclina Gumbel 



D. {Aktinocyclina) hainhridgensis Vaughan, Fla. Geol. Survey 19th Ann. 

 Kept., p. 160, pi. 1, fig. 5, 1928. 



Subgenus Asterocyclina, Gumbel 



Mrs. H. K. Hodson applies, in her paper cited above (1926), a 

 number of names to specimens from Trinidad and Venezuela. She 

 erroneously uses Cisseis as the generic name. It is probable that most 

 or all of them are variants of Asterocyclina asterisca (Guppy) . The 

 list of names is as follows : 



D. (Asterocyclina) asterisca venezuelana (H. K. Hodson) 



zuliana (H. K. Hodson) 

 bontourana (H. K. Hodson) 

 pariana (H. K. Hodson) 

 harrisi (H. K. Hodson) 

 trinidadensis (H. K. Hodson) 

 weeksi (H. K. Hodson) 



{maracaihensis (H. K. Hodson) 

 parva (H. K. Hodson) 

 sanfernandana (H. K. Hodson) 

 aurarensis (H. K. Hodson)
