We have examined specimens of Triloculinafichteliana from Jamaica (one of d'Orbigny's original localities) and find that they compare well with the type-figure (d'Orbigny 1839: pi. 9, figs 8-10) except that they appear to develop a small apertural flap and should therefore be referrred to the genus Miliolinella. Cushman (1921) introduced Flintina bradyana for Brady's specimens from Japan, and with this we concur, as they, like ours, are not d'Orbigny's species. However, he included large speci- mens (up to 2 mm in length) from the Philippines which develop three planispiral chambers in the last whorl and a complex tooth: the two main diagnostic features of his new genus Flintina. The Challenger type-material (which Cushman probably never saw) includes specimens up to 1-2 mm in length, all with a narrow simple apertural tooth and no 'Flintina-like' coil. Since the Togopi material is also entirely triloculine and clearly conspecific with Brady's material we refer it here to Triloculina. All forms included in the above synonymy are triloculine. Distribution. Fossil: Miocene of Taiwan (Chang 1964). Recent: Japan (Brady 1884); Guam (Cushman 1932), Java (Keijzer 1936) and the Philippines (Graham & Militante 1959)..
