Gypsina. 290 ft. This rock also is much altered. Lithothamnion is stiU dis- tinct but is altered marginally. Foraminifera : Orbitolites. 313, No. 23, ht. 298 ft. Lithothamnion and Halimeda are abundant. The rock has undergone considerable recrystallization, and even the Litho- thamnion has been affected by the change. Foraminifera : Polytrema. A small fragment of this form growing on Lithothamnion is the only foraminifer visible. 306, No. a, ht. 300 ft. The organisms are very indistinct in conse- quence of dolomitization. Lithothamnion, Halimeda, and corals occur. Foraminifera: Polytrema planum Carter. A large mass of this occurs fairly well preserved. Amphistegina LEssoNii d'Orb. Orbitolites. Textularian form. 310 ft. This section is the most interesting of the series. It shows numerous well-preserved specimens of Orbitoides sumatrensis, thereby. Fig. 1. Mango, 310 ft. Orbitoides sumatrensis Brady, X 38. The organism is of a pale straw-color. proving the Miocene age of the rock. The genus has only been found in one other rock-specimen, that from Namuka, 30 ft. Polyzoa occur.
