Guttulina woodsi resembles the Cretaceous Guttulina elliptica, 

 described from Bohemia by Keuss, in its general outline, but Reuss's 

 species is more or less compressed and the chambers are shorter. We 

 have some doubts about the arrangement of chambers of Reuss's 

 species. 



The specific name is given for Doctor Woods of the Sedgwick 

 Museum of Cambridge, England. 



GUTTULINA QUINQUECOSTA Cushman and Ozawa 



Plate 11, figures 3 a~c 



Guttulina quinquecosta Cushman and Ozawa, MS. in Cushman and Valen- 

 tine, Contrib. Dept. Geol., Stanford Univ., vol. 1, 1930, p. 19, pi. 5, 

 figs. 6a-c. 



Test oblong, greatest breadth above the middle, regularly tapering 

 toward the base which ends in a spine; chambers inflated, slightly 

 longer than broad, not much embracing, arranged in a quinquelocu- 

 line series, each succeeding chamber removed farther from the base; 

 sutures depressed, generally distinct, especially those of the later 

 chambers; wall thick, smooth, ornamented at its basal portion with 

 five more or less strong costae starting from the caudal spine radiating 

 in five directions in accordance with the quinqueloculine arrangement 

 of chambers; aperture slightly produced, radiate. 



Length 0.40-0.90 mm.; breadth 0.25-0.50 mm.; thickness 0.20-0.40 

 mm. 



Holoty pe.—{Cushm£in Coll. No. 11930.) From off the Channel 

 Islands, Calif. 



In its general outline it is similar to Guttulina yabei, but it is smaller 

 and invariably ornamented by five costae at its basal portion, as in 

 the case of Guttulina costatula, which is an entirely ornamented and 

 much smaller species. 



Distribution.— It seems to be limited to the California coast, where 

 it occurs in the Pliocene and Pleistocene and also as a Recent species. 



GUTTULINA PAALZOWI Cushman and Ozawa, new species 



Plate 11, figures 4 a, 6 



Test elongate fusiform, obtuse at the initial end, acute at the 

 apertural end; chambers elongated but little inflated, much embrac- 

 ing, pjranged in a quinqueloculine series, each succeeding chamber 

 farther removed from the base; sutures but little depressed, often 

 obscure; wall thick, smooth; aperture radiate. 



Length 1.40-1.70 mm.; breadth 0.50-0.55 mm.; thickness 0.40-0.45 

 mm.
