FOSSIL FORAMINIPERA FROM THE WEST INDIES. 



47 



it is attached, the rest of the test in an irregular rounded mass; chambers 

 rounded, thick-walled, with numerous coarse, tubular perforations. 

 Diameter 2 to 3 mm. 



Distribution. — Specimens referable to this species occurred in the 

 sectioned material from the following stations in Cuba: 7513, outcrops 

 where Palmer Trail joins Ocujal Trail; 7518, south side near west end, 

 Los Melones Mountain; 7521, limestone in place, Mogote Peak; 7522, 

 also Mogote Peak, collected by O. E. 

 Meinzer; and at 7664, north slope La 

 Piedra, northeast of Jamaica, north- 

 east of Guantanamo, collected by 

 N. H. Darton. 



Carpenteria proteus, new species. 

 (Plate 5, Figure 3.) 



The following is a description of 

 this species : 



Test composed of a few subglobular 

 chambers, the smaller end attached, the 

 later chambers larger and extending 

 upward, forming a roughly club-shaped 

 column, walls thick but rather finely 

 perforate, the exterior comparatively 

 smooth. 



Length 2 to 3 mm. 



Type specimen (U. S. N. M. No. 

 328180), section from station 6921, 

 Governor's Bay, point between the 

 bay and Grand or Negre Point, 

 St. Bartholomew, collected by T. 

 W. Vaughan. It was also collected 

 at 6924, from bed of limestone on 

 point on northwest side of St. Jean 

 Bay, St. Bartholomew, and 6895, spur 

 on southeast side of cay northwest of St. Jean Bay, 170 feet above sea- 

 level, both collected by T. W. Vaughan. In the last two stations it occurs 

 in association with Orthophragmina. A similar form occurs in Cuba, sta- 

 tion 7666, from Sierra Guaso, northeast of Guantanamo, collected by N. 

 H. Darton, again in association with Orthophragmina. It is also very 

 similar to a specimen obtained at station 6512, Panama, limestone in 

 river-bed at David, which specimen is also associated with Ortho- 

 phragmina. 



Linderina species. 

 (Plate 8, Figures 7 and 8.) 



A few sectioned specimens which seem to represent Foraminifera 

 belonging to this genus occur in association with Conulites americana
