Two fusulinids that were obtained from limestones which partly fill a depression or sink in Mississippian limestone near Carterville, Jasper County, Missouri are described and illustrated as Fusulinella clarki, n. sp., and F. searighti, n. sp. These are primitive forms of Fusulinella and are more or less transitional in development between Profusulinella and Fusulinella. They seem to indicate that the rocks which fill the depression are of about the same age as the lower part of the Mud Springs group of New Mexico, the basal Big Saline limestone of Texas, and some rocks of southern Oklahoma.
