TURBINOLIA PUSILLANIMA, n. sp. 

 Plate 3, figures 9, 10 



Type from locality 476, in the University of California Department of 

 Palaeontology collections. 



Corallum conical, slender. Of the forty-eight costae twenty-four 

 reach only one-third of distance to base, while twelve others seem to 

 disappear near the base. The costae are much narrower where the 

 forty-eight are present. Costal margin acute. Intercostal furrows 

 narrow, of less width than the costae. Pores present between the 

 costae. The twenty-four septa corresponding to the shortest costae 

 extend only a short distance from the wall. Diameter of corallum, 

 3.3 mm. ; height, about 5.7 mm. 



Occurrence at University of California localities 476, 1817, in the 

 lower Tejon group, Eocene. 



Turbinolia pusillanima, n. sp., occurs at the type localities of both 

 Thamnastria sinuata, n. sp., and Fldbellum(f) merriami, n. sp., with 

 the faunas listed under these species. 



FLABELLUM(f) MERRIAMI, n. sp. 

 Plate 3, figures 1, 2, 3, 4. Plate 4, figure 17 



Type from University of California Department of Palaeontology collections, 

 from locality 1817 on branch of Salt Creek, near center of sec. 15, T. 18 S, 

 R. 13 E., M. D. B. & M., about sixteen miles north of Coalinga, Fresno County, 

 California. 



Corallum cuneate near the base, but above compressed zone around 

 corallum near the middle a transverse section is elliptical. Angles 

 at end of longer transverse axis are acute near the base. The twelve 

 well-defined costae have between them thirty-six others of less promi- 

 nence, which apparently almost disappear before reaching the basal 

 portion. The costae which correspond in number to all the septa are 

 broad and covered with large granules. Intercostal grooves narrow. 

 Septa occur in four cycles, the septa of the third cycle apparently 

 fused to the second ; septal faces granular. A true columella seems to 

 be present. Greater transverse diameter, 5.2 mm. ; lesser transverse 

 diameter, 4.5 mm. ; height of corallum, 4.6 mm. 



Occurrence at University of California locality 1817, lower Tejon 

 group, Eocene.
