CUSHMAN: WOODS HOLE FORAMINIFERA. 27 
Specimens of this species were obtained on sandy bottoms in Vine- 
yard Sound and in the scrapings from the dock piles at Woods Hole. 
It cannot be called common in comparison with the preceding three 
species but seems to be more common than the two following ones. 
The specimens have the distinct, neatly rounded chambers and well 
defined striations that distinguish this species from others of the region . 
Miliolina venusta (Karrer). 
Quinqueloculina venusta Karrer, "68, p. 147, pi. 2, fig. 6. 
Miliolina venusta Brady, "84, p. 162, pi. 5, figs. 5, 7; Flint, '99, p. 298, 
pi. 44, fig. 2. 
Specimens of this species showing the well developed keels and the 
protuberant extremity of the last chamber were found in the Fish 
Hawk dredgings from the deeper parts of Vineyard Sound. While 
the species was recorded from several stations in this portion of the 
region, it was usually represented by few specimens, sometimes but a 
single one in a dredge haul. In Buzzards Bay and the shallower 
water inshore this species seems to be entirely wanting. 
Miliolina bicornis (Walker and Jacob). 
Serpula bicornis Walker and Jacob, 1798, p. 633, pi. 14, fig. 2. 
Miliolina bicor^iis Williamson, '58, p. 87, pi. 7, fig. 190-192; Brady, '84, 
p. 171, pi. 6, figs. 9, 11, 12; Flint, '99, p. 300, pi. 46, fig. 2. 
In similar hauls with the preceding were a very few specimens with 
the striations and the peculiar last chamber which characterize this 
species. This chamber extends back and at its posterior end embraces 
the earlier chambers within a peculiar hook-like portion. Anteriorly 
it is extended to form a tubular neck. This appears to be the most 
rare of any of the six species of ^Miliolina noted from the region and it 
is essentially a shallow-water species. In Europe it is very similar to 
Miliolina boueana d'Orbigny. 
Textulariidae. 
Verneuilina polystropha (Reu.ss). 
Bulimina polystropha Reuss, '45, p. 109, pi. 24, fig. 53. 
Verneuilina polystropha Brady, '78, p. 436, pi. 20, fig. 9, a-c; '84, p. 386,
