Full Title: American Old and Middle Tertiary Larger Foraminifera and Corals
Authors: Thomas Wayland Vaughan and John West Wells
This book is divided into two parts: American Paleocene and Eocene larger foraminifera and West Indian Eocene and Miocene corals. From the abstract of the first paper: This paper is divided into two parts, the first of which, entitled "Paleocene and Eocene larger Foraminifera from Barbados," is based on collections made by Dr. A. Senn in blocks of Paleocene age contained in the Joes River mud flows and the Lower and Upper Scotland formations of Eocene age. About 75 localities are represented, and 20 species were recognized, of which 17 were specifically named, and three were undetermined. In the Paleocene blocks in the Joes River mud flows seven determined and one undetermined species were recognized. In the Lower Scotland formation only one species was represented by identifiable specimens. In the Upper Scotland formation there were 14 species, two of them not specifically determined. One species, Discocyclina (Discocyclina) grimsdalei Vaughan and Cole, seems to occur in the Paleocene and the Eocene Lower and Upper Scotland formations. The families represented are Orbitolinidae, Camerinidae, Discocyclinidae, Asterigerinidae, and Orbitoididae; there are six genera, one of which is new and is named Orbitolinoides; ten species and one variety are described as new.
