Our small fragments are quite sufficient for the determination of th 

 species. The dimensions of the opesium are not equal on the foi 

 sides, one of which is often larger than the other. 



The authors are not in accord as to the name which should be giv<

Occurrence. — Lower Miocene (Bowden horizon), Cercado de Mi 

 (Bluff 3), Santo Domingo. 



Geological distribution. — Lutetian of the environs of Paris (Canu 

 Helvetian of Egypt (Canu); Miocene of Australia (Waters). 



This species also occurs in the recent seas off Florida (Smitt) ai 

 the Isle of St. Thomas (Levinsen).

 Floridina, for polymorphism is the rule in this genus; but we belie 1
