152 GEOLOGY AND PALEONTOLOGY OF THE WEST INDIES. 



Argyrotheca dalli, new species. 

 (Plate 16, Figures 5 a-c.) 



The following is a description of this species: 



Shell minutely punctate, with many simple, rounded ribs increasing in 

 number by intercalation; dorsal valve flat; ventral valve inflated; cardinal 

 areas high, triangular in ventral valve, linear in dorsal valve; delthyrijim 

 (probably) triangular; median septum of dorsal valve high in front, nearly 

 meeting the opposite valve, very low at beak. 



Alt. of ventral valve, 13.3 mm.; alt. of dorsal valve, 10 mm.; width, 12.5 

 mm.; diam., 7 mm. 



Guppy 1 lists Argiope clevei Davidson from St. Bartholomew, but I 

 have been unable to find any other reference to that species. It may 

 be the form here described. 



Localities. — Point between Anse ficaille and Anse Lizard and point 

 between Colombier Point and bay next St. Jean Bay, St. Bartholomew, 

 stations 6897 a, b, Vaughan. 



Geologic horizon. — Upper Eocene. 



Type.—U. S. Nat. Mus. No. 167201. 



Liothyrina vaughani, new species. 

 (Plate 16, Figures 1 o-c.) 



The following is a description of this species: 



Shell large, inflated, glabrous; dorsal valve suborbicular, ventral valve ovate, 

 occasionally prolonged in a linguiform projection filling a corresponding emar- 

 gination in the dorsal valve; beak closely incurved; foramen small, circular. 



Length, 43 mm. ; breadth, 36 mm. ; thickness, 18.5 mm. 



This species was identified as Terebratula carneoides Guppy by 

 Cleve, 2 but the beak of Liothyrina vaughani is more closely incurved 

 than that of any previously described species from the American 

 Tertiary. 



Locality. — Northwest side of St. Jean Bay, St. Bartholomew, station 

 6924, Vaughan. 



Geologic horizon. — Upper Eocene. 



Type.—U. S. Nat. Mus. No. 167202. 



BRACHIOPODS FROM TRINIDAD. 



For the sake of completeness, references are included to 3 species of Lio- 

 thyrina from San Fernando, Trinidad. The types are in the collection of 

 the U. S. National Museum.
