no well defined forms, — although a minute fragment or two in some of 
the collections are very much like Radiolarian tests. Nowhere on the 
island have rocks been found made up nearly entirely of these forms 
such as occur in Barbados, Haiti, and near Baracoa, Eastern Cuba. 
W. B. Hill has stated! that “one or two Radiolarians can be seen in 
outline in a rock in which Globigerinse are conspicuously abundant,” 
from Hanover Parish, — where the Montpelier beds occur. 
The lower White Limestones of the Oceanic Series are composed of 
chalk making Foraminifera, deposited in deeper waters than the preced- 
ing beds, and of these there are several distinct horizons each composed 
of a different character or association of Foraminifera. 
Globigerin® appear in great number, composing the chalky strata of 
the Montpelier beds on the north coast near St. Margaret’s, the hill at 
Montpelier hotel, and the rocks underlying the northern side of the 
plain back of Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland. 
W. B. Hill? has also described a specimen of white limestone from 
Hanover County, which he asserts is an “oceanic deposit,” in which 
“thick-shelled Globigerine similar to those of the Barbadian rocks a 
are very abundant. Jukes-Browne and Harrison * have said that Colonel 
Fielden, who sent this specimen from Hanover, reported that flints were 
abundant in the formation. Ido not hesitate from our acquaintance 
with this region to state that this specimen is from the Montpelier 
formation. 
Orbitoides and Nummuline, which have already been noted as occur- 
ring in the Cambridge beds, continue into the Montpelier, as Bagg’s 
studies of our specimens show, and from the specimens described by 
T. Rupert Jones the stratigraphic position of which we have been able 
to identify, thanks to his having given localities of material studied by 
him from Jamaica. 
Bagg reports the following Foraminifera in our collection, from the 
Montpelier Formation, 
Flints from Montpelier Hill (No. 75) : — Orbitoides dispansus, Sower” 
by; abundant, Eocene. Orbitoides mantelli, Morton, rare ; uppermost 
Eocene and lowest Oligocene. Orbitoides papyracea, Boubóe, Eocene: 
Nummulites, probably. 
These flints are Hocene. 
Bluff at Dover :— Orbitoides mantelli, Morton. Orbiculina adunc?
