Thickness of the walls .06 to .09 mm.; opaque layer on one specimen .024 

 mm.; punctate layer .066 mm. The measurements of the different stages 

 of growth as revealed in axial section are as follows: 



Width. Length. Ratio. 



Whorl 1 35 .45 1:1.28 



Whorl 2 7 1.00 1:1.43

Whorl 8 3.8 9.3 1:2.45 



Base of Elmdale formation and Neva limestone; Grand Summit, Kansas; 

 and Foraker, Oklahoma. 



For comparison with this species the critical figures for the thickness of 

 the wall of F. ve/ntricosa Meek, collected at the type locality and horizon are 

 given: Thickness of wall, 8th whorl, ,121 mm.; of punctate layer .087 mm.; 

 of the opaque layer .037 mm.; thickness of opaque layer on excentric cross- 

 section .016 mm. This illustrates the thinning of the opaque layer as well 

 as the wall toward the ends of the shell. The thickness of the septa in F. 

 ventricosa Meek is also much greater than in F. ohesa, which, together with 

 the striking difference in form, easily separates the two into distinct species. 



Fusulina longissimoidea n.sp. 



The shell is long and cylindrical with indistinct furrows. The ends of the 

 shell are rather blunt. The height of the whorls increases rapidly to the 

 ends of the shell. The cellular zone extends from near the center to the ends 

 of nearly all the whorls. The septa are rather highly fluted thruout, in which 

 respect it differs from the previously described Fusuhnae from Kansas. 

 Septa imperforate, or pores very rare. The primordial chamber is large. 

 Diameter of primordial chamber .3 x .26 mm.; in another specimen the 

 diameter is 2.45 mm.; length 10.25 mm.; six whorls radially in 1.25 mm.; 

 ratio 1 to 4.18.
