The following is a description of this species: Test composed of a few subglobular chambers, the smaller end attached, the later chambers larger and extending upward, forming a roughly club-shaped column, walls thick but rather finely perforate, the exterior comparatively smooth. Length 2 to 3 mm. Type specimen (U. S. N. M. No. 328180), section from station 6921, Governor's Bay, point between the bay and Grand or Negre Point, St. Bartholomew, collected by T. W. Vaughan. It was also collected at 6924, from bed of limestone on point on northwest side of St. Jean Bay, St. Bartholomew, and 6895, spur on southeast side of cay northwest of St. Jean Bay, 170 feet above sea- level, both collected by T. W. Vaughan. In the last two stations it occurs in association with Orthophragmina. A similar form occurs in Cuba, sta- tion 7666, from Sierra Guaso, northeast of Guantanamo, collected by N. H. Darton, again in association with Orthophragmina. It is also very similar to a specimen obtained at station 6512, Panama, limestone in river-bed at David, which specimen is also associated with Ortho- phragmina. Linderina species. (Plate 8, Figures 7 and 8.) A few sectioned specimens which seem to represent Foraminifera belonging to this genus occur in
