<strong>MILIOLIDAE</strong> FROM MIOCENE OF POLAND 143<br />
and in tape-shaped, not narrow and bifid tooth. From Varidentella latelacunata<br />
(Venglinsky) it differs in more circular test shape, lower aperture<br />
and tooth and flattened sutures.<br />
Our form corresponds to the comparative specimens of Varidentella<br />
reussi (Bogdanowich), kindly given the author by A. K. Bogdanowich,<br />

Lower Sarmatian, Miechocin 0-3 borehole 54.6-55.7 m, elongate forms:<br />
1-4-micro generation, irregularly quinqueloculine chamber arrangement; a front<br />

they however differ from the comparative specimens of Varidentella sarmatica<br />
(Karrer) from Nexing in the Vienna Basin.<br />
Distribution. - Poland: Lower Sarmatian, (Mach6w, Miechocin, Mokrzysz6w,<br />
Piaseczno, Rytwiany). Austria: Lower Sarmatian, Nexing.<br />

Material. - 60 specimens (CoIl. No. F-194, Sec. No. 135-138).<br />
Dimensions: L 0.3-0.65; B 0.27-0.54; T 0.2-0.35<br />
Description. - Test nearly circular, periphery broadly rounded; chambers<br />
broad, inflated, middle chamber large, irregularly oval, strongly<br />
convex, fifth chamber poorly visible or invisible; sutures broad, depressed;<br />
wall thin; surface smooth, polished, covered with irregular transverse<br />
wrinkles in larger specimens; aperture large, semicircular, with small,<br />
ridge-like tooth, occasionally partly reduced or lacking; aperture border<br />
strongly sloping, sometimes nearly perpendicular to the periphery and<br />
everted in some specimens.
