PLIOCENE FORAMINIFERA OF THE COASTAL PLAIN 

OF THE UNITED STATES.

By JOSEPH AUGUSTINE CUSHMAN.

The collection of Pliocene Foraminifera discussed in this report 

was obtained through the United States Geological Survey and the 

Florida Geological Survey. The material represents five localities 

in three States Walkers Bluff, Cape Fear River, N. C. (several 

species); Cronly, 16 miles west of Wilmington, N. C. (several species); 

Waccamaw River, S. C. (a large number of species); Shell Creek, 

De Soto County, Fla. (very few species); and Caloosahatchee River, 

Fla. (the largest number of species). Most of the species are fairly 

well preserved and some of them occur in considerable numbers, but 

others are represented by a single specimen.

Two geologic formations are represented by the five localities: 

The Waccamaw formation 1 by Walkers Bluff and Cronly, N. C.,. 

and Waccamaw River, S. C.; the Caloosahatchee marl 2 by Caloosahatchee River and Shell Creek, Fla.

A comparison of the faunas shows marked differences in the conditions under which the two formations were deposited. Although 

the lots of material from the Waccamaw formation are not so rich 

as those from the Caloosahatchee marl, they nevertheless contain 

enough species clearly to show that the Waccamaw was laid down 

under conditions very dissimilar to those of the Caloosahatchee at 

its type locality. Very few typically southern species occur outside 

of the Caloosahatchee marl on Caloosahatchee River. Nearly all 

the species in all the material are identical with those found at the 

present time along our Atlantic coast, but those from the Waccamaw 

formation of North and South Carolina and also some of those from 

Shell Creek, Fla., are much more similar to the material now found 

north of Cape Hatteras, while the Caloosahatchee River material represents a typically tropical shoal-water fauna such as may be found

about southern Florida and in shallow water about the West Indies. 

Such genera as Orlitolites, Orbiculina, Peneroplis, and Quingueloculina 

form a large part of the foraminiferal fauna in the present coral-reef 

area in southern Florida and the West Indies. These genera form 

a large portion of the foraminiferal fauna of the Caloosahatchee 

marl from Caloosahatchee River, but they occur not at all or only 

very sparingly in the other lots'of material, as will be seen by reference to the table of occurrence (p. 7).

.The Miliolidae are typical of warm shallow water and therefore 

indicate that the Caloosahatchee material was formed under such 

conditions. The more northern assemblage of forms found in the 

other lots indicate in a similar way that the material was deposited 

in cooler water. It is interesting that in certain genera, such as 

Discorbis, the species represented in the northern lots of material 

are replaced in the Caloosahatchee marl by similar species having 

a much more southern distribution.

Not all the specimens in the Pliocene material can be referred to 

described species, and a few of them are here described as new. 

Others differ somewhat from species described, but they are assigned 

to those species and the differences noted. Many of the species, 

especially of the Caloosahatchee marl, seem to be close to or identical 

with the species described by D'Orbigny in his work on the fauna of 

the shore sands of Cuba.

In none of the lots do the Foraminifera form a considerable portion of the material. They are comparatively few and inconspicuous. 

None of the deposits are in any sense foraminiferal marls, although 

in some of the Caloosahatchee material Orbiculina and Orbitolites 

are easily distinguished.

The following table shows the occurrence of the species obtained 

at the five localities. The text sets forth something of their geographic and geologic distribution and gives enough synonymy so 

that original figures can be consulted if desired. The figures on the 

accompanying plates are all original and were made from specimens 

obtained at the localities here -discussed.

8 FORAMINIFERA OF THE COASTAL PLAIN.

Family TEXTTTLAKIIDAE.

Genus TEXTULABIA Defrance, 1824.

Textularia gramen D'Orbigny.

Plate I, figure 1; Plate II, figure 1.

Textularia gramen D'Orbigny, Foraminiferes fossiles du bassin tertiaire de Vienne,

p. 248, pi. 15, figs. 4, 6,1846.

Brady, Chalknger Kept., Zoology, vol. 9, p. 365, pi. 43, figs. 9,10,1884. 

Flint, U. S. Nat. Mus: Rept. for 1897, p. 284, pi. 29, fig. 5,1899. 

Cushman, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 71, pt. 2, p. 8, figs. 6-8,1911.

Test-short, nearly as broad as long, cuneate, rapidly increasing 

in breadth from the early chambers; chambers comparatively few, 

lateral borders angled, sutures more or less indistinct; wall arenaceous; aperture elongate, at the base of the inner border of the 

chamber.

Specimens of this species were found in the Waccamaw formation, 

at Cronly, N. C., and on Waccamaw River, S. C. The specimens 

from these two localities differ somewhat in texture and other minor 

characters. They, both evidently belong to the same species. The 

specimens from North Carolina are smoother and have higher 

chambers than those from South Carolina.

This species is a common one,in the Tertiary deposits and also in 

the present ocean. It is widely distributed.

Genus BOLTVINA D'Orbigny, 1839.

Bolivina karreriana Brady. \

Plate II, figure 5.

Bolivina karreriana Brady, Quart. Jour. Micr. Sci., vol. 21, p. 58, 1881; Challenger

Kept., Zoology, vol. 9, p. 424,.pl. 53, figs. 19-21,1884. 

Egger, K.-bayer Akad. Wiss. Munchen, Cl. II, Abb.., vol. 18, p. 299, pi. 8, figs.

38, 39, 1893. 

Cushman, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 71, pt. 2, p. 40, fig. 65 a, 6,1911.

Test elongate, compressed, cylindrical, apical end broadly rounded; 

chambers several, inflated, sutures somewhat depressed but not 

breaking up the costae of the ornamentation; wall calcareous, 

ornamented by numerous longitudinal raised costae running the 

whole length of the test, occasionally branching or uniting; aperture 

broadly elliptical and bordered by a raised lip; color white.

This species was found in considerable numbers in the Caloosahatchee marl on Shell Creek, Fla. The specimens differ somewhat 

from the typical B. Icarreriana but on the whole undoubtedly represent 

this species. None of the specimens had a spinose apical end, all 

being broadly rounded. The species has been described by Brady 

from recent material in the Pacific and southern Atlantic. Its 

occurrence in the Pliocene of Florida is an unexpected extension 

of its range.
PLIOCENE FORAMINIFERA. 9

Genus VEENEUIUNA D'Orbigny, 1840. 

Verneuilina glabrata Cushman, n. sp. 

Plate I, figure 2.

Test elongate; three-sided, triangular in transverse section, sides 

flattened, or one slightly concave, the initial end acute, test broadest 

in the middle, tapering again toward the apertural end; wall usually 

rather smooth or slightly granular, edges of the chamber at the 

aperture thickened; the aperture a curved slit at the base of the 

inner chamber.

Type specimen, U.S.N.M. No. 325308.

This species was found in the Waccamaw formation at Cronly, 

N. C. It somewhat resembles V. spinulosa Reuss but differs in the 

tapering form and in the nonspinose character "of the test.

Genus CASSIDULINA D'Orbigny, 1826. 

Cassidulina laevigata D'Orbigny.

Plate I, figure 5.

Cassidulina laevigata D'Orbigny, Annales sci. nat., vol. 7, p. 282, pi. 15, figs. 4, 5, 1826;

Cushman, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 71, pt. 2, p. 96, fig. 150 a, b, 1911.

Test nearly circular in outline, in side view lenticular, nearly 

biconvex with an angled periphery or somewhat carinate; chambers 

-numerous, long and narrow, curved, alternating; sutures distinct 

but not depressed; wall calcareous, smooth; aperture an elongate 

slit close to the end, nearly parallel to the margin of the test; color 

white.

This species was found in the Waccamaw formation at Cronly, 

N. C. It is typical in every way. The species has been found in the 

Tertiary of Europe and is widely distributed in the present oceans. 

It may be considered a cool-water form, although it occurs in the 

Mediterranean.

Family LAGENIDAE.

Genus LAGENA Walker and Boys, 1784.

Lagena semistriata Williamson.

Plate II, figure 3.

of the length of the test; neck elongated; aperture with a phialine' 

lip; test rounded in cross section.

A single specimen of this species occurred in the Caloosahatchee 

marl on Shell Creek, Fla.

Genus MARGINULINA D'Orbigny, 1826. 

Marginulina sp.?

Plate I, figure 4.

A single specimen figured in outline was found in the Waccamaw 

formation at Cronly, N. C. It is a v.ery young specimen and is not 

sufficiently developed to determine specifically.

Genus CRISTELLARIA Lamarck, 1816. 

 Cristellaria gibba D'Orbigny.

Plate II, figure 6.

Cushman, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 71, pt. 3, p. 69, pi. 35,. fig. 1, 1913.

Test elongate oval, biconvex, peripheral margin subacute; wall 

smooth; sutures slightly if at all depressed; chambers-comparatively 

few.

A single worn specimen was found in the Waccamaw formation 

on Waccamaw River, S. C. Although the exterior is largely eroded 

the form of the test is that of this species. The species is widety 

distributed both geographically and geologically, and its occurrence 

is therefore not at all characteristic.

Genus UVIGERINA D'Orbigny, 1826. 

Uvigerina tenuistriata Reuss.

Cushman, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 71, pt. 3, p. 95, pi. 42, fig. 4, 1913.

Test elongate, cylindrical, somewhat tapering toward the apical 

end, composed of numerous inflated chambers with distinct, depressed sutures, the early chambers with fine longitudinal costae, 

later ones often smooth; aperture with a short tubular neck; wall 

with a phialine lip.

This species occurred in the Waccamaw formation at Cronly, N. C. 

The specimen figured is shorter than is typical but otherwise seems 

to belong to this species. Reuss described this species from specimens obtained in the Tertiary of Europe, and it is rather widely distributed in the present oceans.

Cushman, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 71, pt. 3, p. 98, pi. 44, fig. 4, 1913.

Test elongate, tapering toward either end; chambers numerous, 

usually three in each whorl, ^laterally compressed, making a triangular test in end view; wall costate longitudinally; sutures depressed; 

apical end of test often slightly spinose; aperture with a short tubular neck.

This species occurred in the Waccamaw formation on Waccamaw 

River, S. C. It is typical except that the costae are rather more 

numerous than is usual in recent specimens. It occurs in the later 

Tertiary of Europe and is rather widely distributed in the present 

oceans. It is not a typical tropical foraminifer but is more characteristic of temperate waters.

Cushman, II. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 71, pt. 3, p. 85, pi. 41, fig. 4, 1913.

Test oval, both in end and in side views, inflated; visible cham-. 

bers few; sutures distinct but not depressed or only slightly so; wall 

smooth; apertural end somewhat drawn out; aperture radiate.

A single specimen of this species occurred in the Caloosahatchee 

marl on Shell Creek, Fla. It seems typical and very similar to the 

specimens figured by Brady. It occurs in the Tertiary of Europe and 

perhaps in earlier beds arid is rather widely distributed in the present 

oceans.

Cushman, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 71, pt. 4, p. 14, pi. 6; pi. 7; pi. 11, fig. 3, 1914.

Test from the exterior consisting of a single nearly spherical chamber but often inclosing several Globigerina-lik& chambers within, 

surface reticulate, perforate, with a single large circular aperture.

In the Waccamaw formation on Waccamaw liiver, S. C., a single 

specimen occurred which seems to be this species, although the surface is not clearly characteristic. This species is recorded from the 

Lias to the present, but the specimens from the earlier formations are 

not all well preserved. It is very widely distributed in the present 

oceans.

Test subglobose, spiral, made up of a few inflated chambers, all 

visible from the dorsal side, three to four visible from the ventral 

side; sutures deep, surface reticulate.

A few specimens from the Waccamaw formation on Waccamaw 

River, S. C., apparently belong to this species, which is widely distributed geographically and geologically.

Bagg, U. S. Geol. Survey Bull. 513, p. 81, pi. 24, fig. 15, 1912.

Test plano-convex, dorsal side convex, rounded, ventral side 

usually flattened or somewhat concave, peripheral margin rounded 

on the ventral side with radiating lines on the border; chambers few, 

usually five in the last-formed whorl; sutures slightly depressed, much 

more so on the ventral side, where the chambers end at the center in 

angular proj ections; umbilicate.

This species was found in the Waccamaw formation at Cronly, 

N. C., and on Waccamaw River, S. C., and in the Caloosahatchee 

marl on Shell Creek, Fla. All the specimens from these localities 

were typical, showing especially the milled edge on the ventral border. 

This species occurs in the Tertiary of Europe and in the present oceans 

mainly in temperate and subtropical waters, being much less common 

in the Tropics.

Discorbis orbicularis (Terquem) Berthelin.

Plate III, figure 4.

Bourgneuf et a- Pornichet, p. 39, No. 63, 1878. 

Brady, Challenger Rept., Zoology, vol. 9, p. 647, pi. 88, figs. 4-8, 1884.

Test convex dorsally, concave ventrally; chambers few, ranging 

from two to four in the last-formed whorl; peripheral border acute, 

sometimes carinate; sutures well marked by fine lines, occasionally 

limb ate; chambers ventrally elongate, from three to five visible; 

wall punctate.

This species occurred in the Caloosahatchee marl on Caloosahatchee 

River, Fla. It is known from the Miocene and Pliocene of southern Europe. In the present oceans it occurs most abundantly 

as a coral-reef species of the Tropics, especially in shallow water. 

This is interesting, as this species occurs in the Caloosahatchee, 

which has typically a tropical reef-coral fauna, so far as the Foraminifera show, and it does not occur in material from the other three 

localities here described, which have a more northern assemblage of 

forms.
14 FORAMINIFEEA OF THE COASTAL PLAIN.

Discorbis subrugosa Cushman, n. sp.

Plate V, figure 4.

Test composed of numerous chambers, six or seven in the final 

whorl, inflated; sutures deeply depressed; dorsally somewhat umbonate, ventrally somewhat flattened, depressed at the umbilicus; 

chambers extending in to the center of the test; ventral margin 

broadly rounded, surface smooth.

Type specimen, U. S. N. M. No. 325309.

This species was found in the material of the Caloosahatchee marl 

on Caloosahatchee River, Fla. In form and general shape it much 

resembles Discorbina rugosa D'Orbigny, but it is not so rugose as that 

species and the chambers on the ventral side extend to the center.

Test plano-convex, rounded dorsally, flattened or slightly concave 

ventrally, peripheral margin rounded; chambers five to seven in the 

last-formed whorl, on the ventral side the last-formed chamber large, 

often forming one-third of the ventral surface; sutures distinct, 

slightly depressed, especially on the ventral side; umbilicate.

A single specimen of this species was found in the Caloosahatchee 

marl on Caloosahatchee River, Fla., and seems to be typical in every 

way. This species is known in the Tertiary of Europe and is widely 

distributed in the present oceans.

the dorsal face; wall smooth, punctate.

This species was found in the Waccamaw formation at Cronly, 

N.'C. From the records it is widely distributed both geographically 

and geologically. On our Atlantic coast, however, it is one of the 

most common species, especially in the northern portion, therefore 

it would be expected in the North Carolina material rather than in 

that obtained farther south.

Test compressed, planospiral, sub triangular; wall ornamented by 

longitudinal raised costae, with a wide peripheral keel; aperture an 

elongate slit with a definite raised border; later chambers becoming 

uniserial. *

D'Orbigny described this species from specimens obtained in the 

shore sands of Cuba, and Goes has figured specimens from the Caribbean Sea that are somewhat similar to those here described. These 

specimens, which were found in the Caloosahatchee marl on Caloosahatchee River, Fla., seem to be identical with that described by 

D'Orbigny. Many of the early chambers are nearly smooth, like 

those figured by Goes.

Test oval, compressed, early portion quinqueloculine, later pianospiral, peripheral margin siibacute, surface of later chambers with 

transverse crenulations, last-formed chamber smooth; aperture consisting of a series of sievelike pores.

A single specimen of this species was obtained from the C.aloosahatchee marl of Caloosahatehee River, Fla. The specimen is not 

characteristic and lacks certain of the features of typical recent 

specimens of the species.

Hauerina ornatissima is typically a coral-reef species.

Flint, U. S. Nat. Mus. Ann. Kept, for 1897, p. 304, pi. 48, fig. 4, 1899.

Test flattened, loosely coiled, planospiral, consisting of about 

three coils; chambers numerous, rapidly increasing in length, much 

varied in the relative amount of their overlapping, chambers distinct; sutures somewhat depressed, chambers simple, aperture composed of a number of. pores.

The only material in which this occurred was the Caloosahatehee 

marl from Caloosahatehee River, Fla. As a fossil it is apparently 

limited to Tertiary beds. In the present oceans it is widely 

distributed and is one of the commonest species, especially in the 

shallow water about tropical shores.

Test similar to the type but the chambers early becoming annular, 

forming a circular, disklike test similar to Orlitolites simplex but 

with no trace of divisions in the chambers.

Flint's description of this variety was based on specimens from 

Key West Harbor, Fla., in shallow water. It was found as a fossil 

in the Caloosahatehee marl of Caloosahatehee River, Fla.

sutures distinct; chambers divided into chamberlets; aperture consisting of numerous pores; surface smooth.

This species occurred in some numbers in the Caloosahatchee 

marl of Caloosahatchee River, Fla. As a fossil it is known from the 

Tertiary, especially the later portion, and it is very common in the 

present oceans, being characteristic of shallow water, especially in 

tropical regions. In the West Indies and along the Florida coast 

this is probably the most abundant foraminifer of the coral-reef 

tracts

Test complanate, much flattened; chambers very numerous, early 

ones spirally arranged, later becoming elongate and finally annular, 

the later ones regularly divided into chamberlets; sutures distinct; 

aperture a single row of circular pores along the peripheral margin; 

wall smooth, translucent.

This species occurs in the Caloosahatchee marl of Caloosahatchee 

River, Fla. The species seems to be almost entirely a recent one. It 

is characteristic of the calcareous sands of warm, shallow waters.

SOME MIOCENE FORAMffllFERA OF THE COASTAL 

PLAIN OF THE UNITED STATES.

By JOSEPH AUGUSTINE CUSHMAN.

In the following report the species of Foraminifera found in the 

later Miocene of the Coastal Plain of the eastern United States are 

described or recorded. An attempt has been made to include all 

records of the Foraminifera reported from the Atlantic and Gulf 

Coastal Plain from Alabama to New Jersey.

The greater part of the previous work on the Miocene Foraminifera 

has been done by Dr. Rufus M. Bagg and is especially exhaustive 

with reference to the Maryland region. I have undertaken to go over 

the Maryland material on which Dr. Bagg worked and find that I 

do not agree with some of his determinations. For the most part, 

however, this report has been intended to add information in regard 

to the Miocene Foraminifera of the region farther south by a study 

of collections from Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and 

Florida.

The geologic formations represented by the. collections on which 

this report is based are as follows:

Choctawhatchee marl, 1 Goes Mill, Jackson Bluff, and Red Bay, Fla. 

Duplin marl, 2 Muldrows Mill, Mayesville, and Darlington, S. C.; Wilmington and 

Natural Well, N. C.

40 FOKAMINIFERA OF THE COASTAL PLAIN.

Besides the localities mentioned, there are several whose geologic 

relations are not known with precision. The uncertainty is indicated 

both in the captions of the table showing distribution and hi the text.

The Miocene Foraminifera are not susceptible of so definite a 

division into faunas as the Pliocene Foraminifera, and yet by an 

inspection of the table of distribution it will be seen that in the 

Choctawhatchee marl of Florida and in the Duplin marl of South 

Carolina were developed faunas that were distinct in many ways 

from those of Maryland and Virginia.

The material includes many species that differ essentially from the 

living allied species, and many of the fossil species have been described here as new. The new species are especially numerous in the 

fauna of the Florida and South Carolina regions, which seems to 

differ more from the recent fauna than that of Virginia and Maryland.

For the most part the Miocene sediments consist of sands and 

marls, none of which can be said to be rich in Foraminifera so far as 

the percentage of bulk is concerned. Some of the material is notably 

foraminiferal, but in such material the individuals of certain species 

are usually numerous and those of others comparatively rare. No 

such masses of Foraminifera occur as are found in certain Oligocene 

and Eocene strata of the same general region.

The species of the Maryland and Virginia region are either 

identical with or allied to species now occurring in comparatively 

shallow water in the same general region. On the other hand, 

except in the material from Jackson Bluff, Ochlockonee Kiver, Fla., 

there is almost, no appreciable development of the Miliolidae, which 

form so dominant a constituent of comparatively shallow water of 

the region at the present time. Even at Jackson Bluff there are but 

a few species and apparently no representatives of OrUculina, Orbitolites, Peneroplis, and similar genera which are characteristic of warm 

southern waters and which in the Pliocene of this region are common.

The localities that have afforded most numerous additions from 

the Miocene are grouped according to geologic formations as follows:

Choctawhatchee marl: Goes Mill. Liberty County, Fla.; Jackson Bluff, Ochlockonee 

River, 25 miles southwest of Tallahassee, Fla.; 1 mile south of Red Bay, Walton 

County, Fla.

Duplin marl: Muldrows Mills, S. C.; Mayesville, S. C.; Wilmington, N. C.

Yorktown formation: Near Suffolk, Va.

I am indebted to Mr. T. W. Vaughan for many suggestions in 

regard to material and localities and for help in obtaining collections 

from many sources; to Dr. E. H. Sellards, of the Florida Geological 

Survey, for additional material from that State; and to Profs. E. W. 

Berry and W. B. Clark for the loan of the material from Johns 

Hopkins University.

.ginia; locality,.uncertain;. collected by Tuomey.

This species, which has a definite arenaceous test, although composed of very fine fragments, a single chamber, and a single aperture, 

seems to belong to the genus Saccammina and is certainly very 

different from the recent S. sphaerica.

narrowly at the posterior end so that it is almost acuminate. The lateral margins 

are strongly carinate as in T. articulata, from which it is with difficulty distinguished, 

and it may well be doubted if it is wise to separate these two as D'Orbigny has done. 

It has somewhat strongly marginal extensions however, and these extensions are 

more broken and the sutures are less depressed. It is closely allied to T. marginata 

but differs from it in the flanged sides. Bagg.

Test sub triangular in front view, very abruptly tapering from the 

initial end, somewhat twisted, the elongate portion compressed; 

chambers numerous, the later ones high, with the posterior angle 

projecting, forming an irregular serrate peripheral margin; sutures 

indistinct, as in the later portion; wall composed of coarsely agglutinated material with a large proportion of cement; aperture rather 

large, at the base of the inner margin of the last-formed chamber. 

Length, 1.30 millimeters.

Type specimen (U. S. N. M. No. 325315) and others were taken 

from sand included in the valves of Balanus proteus from the Miocene

This species is a modification of Bolivina beyrichi and is closely related to Bolivina 

gramen (Vahulina gramen D'Orbigny). The former is, however, more slender and 

somewhat narrower and has greater depth and subtriangular outline of its later chambers. In the variety alata there is a well-defined wing and keel around the periphery, 

and the test is rather more flattened than in Bolivina beyrichi. Bagg.

Bagg records this species from the Calvert formation of Chesapeake Beach, Md. I have examined the material, which does not

The following description is given by Bagg, copied from Brady, 

Parker, and Jones:

Shell oblong, in equilateral, compressed, more or less fusiform; chambers numerous, 

arranged in two inequal series, somewhat inflated; septal lines depressed, surface 

smooth or faintly striate; aperture variable, usually simple, circular, coronate; sometimes labyrinthic or porous.

Polymorphina compressa D'Orbigny var. striata Bagg, Maryland Geol. Survey, Miocene, p. 476, pi. 133, fig. 2, 1904.

Test similar in size, amount of compression, arrangement of chambers, and in 

their number to P. compressa, but it differs from the latter in having a number of 

definite costae running over every chamber, and there would be some doubt about 

the validity of this variety were it not for the fact that the amount of striation is so 

great and so entirely different from the common P. compressa. It is no doubt easy 

to find in Brady's illustration of the species indications of costae, but when these become constant and well developed there is good reason to regard the forme as a 

variety. Bagg. -

Test more or less broadly ovate, stoutly built, with thick shell wall. The chambers 

are numerous, large, and globose, separated by depressed septal lines. The surface 

is marked by a number of prominent longitudinal costae, which are less numerous 

and larger than in the longer and more tapering U. striata Reuss. The primordial 

end is rounded, and the anterior extended into a short tubular neck with flaring 

aperture. This interesting little species occurs quite frequently in the well boring 

at Crisfield. Its geological range is from the Miocene to Eecent. Bagg.

In addition to the occurrence at Crisfield Bagg mentions this 

species as occurring in the St. Marys (?) formation in the well at 

Norfolk, Va. (depth, 645 feet).

Siphogenerina spinosa Bagg.

Siphogenerina spinosa Bagg, Maryland Geol. Survey, Miocene, p. 480, pi. 133, fig. 11, 

1904.

This peculiar and interesting species somewhat resembles S. raphanus Parker and 

Jones, but differs from the latter in several particulars. The surface ridges in our 

specimen end in a series of projecting points, which at the distal end become definite 

spines, though these are short and stubby. Again, there are arched cross ridges 

between these costae which, while they may not indicate the internal structure, 

serve to mark their location. The aperture ends in a neat raised, phialine, everted 

lip with a central rounded orifice. Bagg.

This species was found in the Choctawhatchee marl 1 mile south 

of Red Bay, Fla. It is distinct from 8. rapJianus, which it somewhat 

resembles, but the extraordinary development of the longitudinal 

lamellae presents a marked characteristic.

[For description see paper on Pliocene Foraminifera, p. 12.]

Bagg records this species from the Choptank formation at Jones 

Wharf and Peach Blossom Creek, Md., and from the Calvert formation at Plum Point and Chesapeake Beach, Md. The specimens 

from Chesapeake Beach I have seen. That from this locality figured 

on Bagg's plate 132, figure 2, seems to be this species, but that shown 

on plate 132, figure 1, seems to be more like G. dubia. In the Miocene 

material which I have examined this species has occurred in the 

Yorktown formation at Suffolk, Va., and in the Choctawhatchee 

marl 1 mile south of .Red Bay, Fla. Bagg's list includes Darlington, 

S. C.; James River, Yorktown, and the Norfolk well, Va.

Diameter, 0.80 millimeter.

The specimens that are here referred to this species were from the 

Choctawhatchee marl at Jackson Bluff, Fla. In the figured specimen 

the ventral side has the umbilical area filled with a mass of material 

which may be of foreign origin, but the dorsal side distinctly shows 

the accessory openings characteristic of this species, although the 

specimen is not perfect. Apparently this species has not been 

recorded as a fossil.

Bagg's single specimen of this species was from the Miocene of 

Yorktown, Va. (Yorktown formation). The peculiar ornamentation 

of this species well distinguishes it. I have a specimen identical

Specimens referred to this species were found in the Choctawhatchee marl at Jackson Bluff, Fla., and in the Duplin marl at Mayesville, S. C. The species was described by Schwager from specimens 

collected in the Pliocene of Kar Nicobar, in the Indian Ocean.

Truncatulina americana Cushman, n. sp.

side with the last few chambers failing to meet the umbilicus, ventral 

side similar in this respect in most specimens; sutures distinct, 

slightly limbate on the dorsal side, depressed on the ventral;.!side; 

wall smooth, punctate'; aperture peripheral with a slight lip. Diameter, 0.75 millimeter or less.

This species seems to be common in the Miocene of the Atlantic 

Coastal Plain, especially in North and South Carolina and Florida. 

It is found in the Choctawhatchee marl, at Goes Mill, Fla.; in the 

Duplin marl at Mayesville, S. C., and Wilmington, N. C., in considerable quantities; and as scattering specimens in the other localities

mass, periphery keeled, surface between the limbate sutures granular, 

the periphery at the apertural end extending outward; aperture at the 

base of the apertural face, median. Diameter, 0.65 millimeter.

Material that seems possibly referable to this species was obtained 

from the Duplin marl at Mayesville, S. C. It has the peculiar surface 

ornamentation as regards both the sutures and the intermediate areas 

shown in Brady's specimens and has the extended apertural periphery. 

His specimens, however, came from the tropical Pacific, and it is 

questionable whether this South Carolina form is really identical with 

them.

Truncatulina basiloba Cushman, n. sp.

peripheral margin subangular, about seven chambers in the lastformed whorl, chambers on the ventral side failing to reach the 

umbilicus, leaving a definite umbilical depression, on the dorsal 

side each chamber with a definite basal lobe extending backward, 

leaving a depression in the angle thus formed, which persists even 

in later growth; surface smooth, finely punctate; aperture peripheral with a definite lip. Diameter, 0.8 millimeter.

Type specimen (U. S. N. M. No. 325335) from the Miocene of South

Test longer than broad, biconvex, the ventral side more convex 

than the dorsal, chambers few in number, six to seven in the lastformed coil, increasing rapidly in size as added; sutures slightly 

if at all depressed on the dorsal side, ventral side decidedly depressed; 

chambers slightly carinate above in some specimens; wall smooth; 

aperture a narrow slit on the umbilical region of the ventral side. 

Diameter, 0.5 millimeter.

This species occurred in the Choctawhatchee marl 1 mile south of 

Red Bay, Fla., and also in the Yorktown formation at Suffolk, Va. 

The specimens certainly seem identical with the Rotalina sagra of 

D'Orbigny as described and figured in the Cuba monograph. They 

seem to be much more closely allied to this species than to any other 

described or figured species, and as they occur in the late Tertiary 

of an adjacent region it is not surprising that they should be identical 

with recent West Indian species.

The specimen figured, although slightly incomplete, represents a 

species with very long, curved chambers, slightly limbate sutures, 

and a more or less irregular contour in side view. It does not seem 

to be identical with any common recent species, and, being a single 

specimen, seems not'to justify the founding of a new species. The 

specimen is from the Choctawhatchee marl at Jackson Bluff, Fla.

Rotalia beccarii (Linnaeus) D'Orbigny.

Plate XXIII, figure 3; Plate XXIV, figures 1, 2; Plate XXV, figure 1. 

[For description see paper on Pliocene Foraminifera, p. 18.]

This species is abundant in the Miocene of the Coastal Plain 

region, as also in the Pliocene and along the Atlantic coast at the 

present time. Numerous variations occur, some of which are here 

figured. It occurs in the Choctawhatchee marl of Florida, in the 

Duplin marl of North and South Carolina, and in Virginia and 

Maryland, as will be seen by the accompanying table of distribution. Bagg records it from both the St. Marys formation and 

the Choptank formation of Maryland. Woodward 1 records this 

species from the Miocene of Alabama in the "greensand" of the 

Mobile artesian well at a depth of 700 to 735 feet.

Rotalia reticulata Cushman, n. sp.

ornamentation and in the general form of the test, which is not 

nearly so flattened as in Brady's specimen.

Test- broadly oval or almost circular in outline; chambers four, milioline, covered 

with definite striations upon the outer surface, which is the chief characteristic of this 

species. The umbilical region is depressed, and the outer chambers are somewhat 

enlarged toward their margin, suggesting a thickening of the shell as well as an increase 

in size. The surface striations are in our specimen nearly parallel to the several 

chambers, but Brady mentions the fact that these are sometimes oblique and often 

irregular, while in typical forms the aperture ends in an elongated neck. In our 

specimen it appears broken, so that this feature is not apparent. Bagg.

The test of Spiroloculina tenuis is in small, delicate specimens spiroloculine from 

beginning to end, but in larger forms it shows a tliickening at the center on account 

of the earliest segments not being set in one plane, and it is probably on this account 

that the species has so often been grouped with Quinqueloculina. It has a rather 

broadly oval contour in our Miocene specimen, and the several chambers are smooth 

and run in alternate series from end to end. I
