FOSSIL FORAMINIFERA FROM THE WEST INDIES. 33 



The species occurs in material from the following stations in Cuba, 

 collected by 0. E. Meinzer: 7512, Ocujal; 7513, orbitoidal limestone, 

 outcrop where Palmer Trail joins Ocujal Trail; 7516, west end, Los 

 Melones Mountain; 7521, limestone, top of Mogote Peak; 7543, lime- 

 stone outcrop, east side of Yateras; and 7548, flexure, 2 miles south of 

 Yurnaguna. 



This is very similar to the specimen figured, plate 5, figure 7, from 

 Anguilla.

One specimen was found in marl from station 3461, gorge of Yumurf 

 River, Matanzas, Cuba, collected by T. W. Vaughan. It is referred 

 to this species, although the name Bolivina punctata has had so many 

 different forms of smooth Bolivina placed under it that it means little 

 until a close study can be made of some of the various species now 

 passing under that name. 



This same species was found in the Miocene Gatun formation of the 

 Panama Canal Zone. 



Bolivina lobata H. B. Brady var. cubensis, new variety. 

 (Plate 14, Figure 1.) 



The following is a description of this variety: 



Test elongate, biserial, somewhat compressed, chambers of the earlier 

 portion close, those of the later portions more distinct and somewhat separated, 

 sutures deep and distinct, somewhat thickened, apertural end obliquely 

 truncated; chambers with the walls more or less granular, the outer margin 

 extended into elongate processes in most of the chambers, outline lobate; 

 aperture elongate, oval, with a broad lip and a sharply defined border. 



Length, 0.50 mm. 



Type specimen (U. S. N. M. No. 328176) from station 3461, marl from 

 gorge of Yumurf River, Matanzas, Cuba, collected by T. W. Vaughan. 



The type form of the species was described by Brady from off New 

 Guinea, and I have seen specimens of it obtained between Midway 

 Island and Guam. The variety above described differs in its much 

 more spinose appearance and its broader aperture with a flaring collar- 

 like lip. 



Bolivina limbata H. B. Brady. 



Bolivina limbata H. B. Brady, Quart. Journ. Micr. Sci., vol. 21, p. 57, 1881; Rep. Voy. 

 Challenger, Zoology, vol. 9, p. 419, plate 52, figs. 26-28, 1884. 



This species is represented by a single specimen from station 3461, 

 from marl, gorge of Yumurf River, Matanzas, Cuba, collected by T. W. 

 Vaughan. As a recent species it is most abundant in the Indo-Pacific 

 region, although widely distributed elsewhere in smaller numbers.
