The age of a hitherto undescribed interval of the Arcturus formation (Permian) in White Pine County, Nevada has been determined to be equivalent to a zone bracketing the upper Leonard and lower Word formations of Texas. This conclusion is based upon a fusulinid fauna composed of almost equal proportions of the genera Parafusulina and Schwagerina, although one member of the genus Pseudofusulina is present. Eleven new species and one new variety are named; one of these is from a large collection of random samples not taken in conjunction with the measured sections studied. Vertical ranges have been plotted as they occur within two stratigraphic sections.
