myxosporidian described from red drum captured North Carolina waters. In this paper, 
data is presented on the parasite from red drum caught in south Florida waters during 
1961 - 1962 and a specific name is established. The parasites were studied in both 
fresh and formalin-preserved preparations.

[NO ABSTRACT AVAILABLE.) Many mangrove keys occur throughout Florida Bay and 
these provide ideal nesting habitats for the white-crowned pigeon. In 1961 and 1962, a 
nesting study was carried out in Florida Bay, primarily on Middle Butternut Key in the 
Everglades National Park. During those two years, 368 nesting attempts were 
monitored. The nests were numbered using plastic tags to identify them individually. 
They were checked every two or three days throughout the nesting season. Records 
were kept on the type of tree, the height from the ground to the nest the number of 
eggs, the number of young produced and other parameters.

Florida Bay. Science . 136(3518):782. 
[DATE OF SAMPLING UNKNOWN OR NOT APPLICABLE.) A sample of dolomite crystals 
concentrated from Recent carbonate sediments in Florida Bay gave a 14 C age greater 
than 35,000 yrs. Since Recent sedimentation in Florida Bay began less than 4,000 yrs 
ago, the dolomite must be derived from older rocks, and Taft's hypothesis that dolomite 
is forming today is incorrect.

Buttonwood Sound, Florida Bay. Limnol. Oceanoar. . 11(4):562-6. 
Standing crops of foraminifera collected in Buttonwood Sound were analyzed using 
analysis of variance and percentage data. There were no significant faunal variations, 
in terms of F-ratios, at 10 of the 19 stations, indicating foraminiferal microhabitats of 
at least 30 m 2 . Data in terms of per cent of species occurring in all samples (S c ), and 
per cent of population made up of species occurring in all samples (P c ), were used to 
analyze faunal variation. S c values indicated species composition varied considerably 
between samples at each station, while P c values indicated foraminiferal standing crop 
varied appreciably between samples. S c and P c values at each station indicated 
dominant species are quite constant between samples at each station and variation is 
caused by fluctuation in rarer species.
