SOME MORE IMPORTANT NEW SPECIES OF FORAMINIFERS AND OSTRACODS FROM THE TRIASSIC DEPOSITS OF POLANDSummaryShort characteristics of some species of foraminifers and ostracods from the Triassic deposits of the Lowland area of Poland are given. Table 1 presents the vertical distribution of stratigraphically more important species.The deposits of Triassic age in the Extra-Carpaithian area of Poland are developed mainly as clay-sand, carbonate-day and clay-siltstone deposits (H. Senkowiczowawa, A. Szyperko-Śliwczyńska, 1961).The Triassic deposits reveal both genera and species of foraminifers and ostracods that occur in the boreal province (Lower Triassic), and those of the Alpine zone of the European Triassic (particularly Middle Triassic).Within the area of the Polish Lowland are found foraminifers of the family Nodosariidae, as well as few representatives of the families Spirillinidae, Nubeculariidae, Polymorphinidae, Lituolidae, Ammodiscidae and Astrorhizidae.Among the ostracods there occur both marine – mainly in the deposits of the Middle Triassic – and brackish-marine representatives of this animal group. To the more important genera which characterize the individual members of the Triassic belong: Darwinula, Lutkevichinella, Clinocypris, Cytherissinella, Pulviella, Glorianella, Spelncella, Bairdia, Hungarella, Judahella, Monoceratina, Cytherella, Paracypris, Gemmanella, Rhombocythere and Klieana ?ForaminiferaTrochamminoides antis n. sp.                  (Table I, Figs. 1–3)Test small, planispiral, partly involute, consisting of 2–2,5 whorls. In the last whorl – 8–9 chambers. Chambers fine, slightly incised, 13–14 in number. Initial chamber small, round, next chambers irregular in shape and dimension, increase with the growth. Test surface smooth, test wall finely arenaceous with calcareous cement. Occurrence: Upper Muschelkalk.Orthovertella? flexuosa n. sp.                 (Table I, Figs. 4–7)Test small, calcareous, consisting of a small oval initial chamber and of second tubular chamber which, in its initial pad, is involuted spirally, and then passes in a straight part. At cross section 2,5 whorls can be observed occurrence: Upper Muschelkalk.Ophthalmidium granum n. sp.(Table I, Figs. 8, 9)Calcareous test smooth, chamhers almost invisible. Initial chamber round, second chamber tubular, slightly widened at the base, making 1/2 whorl. Third chamber more widened at the base, equal to 1/2 whorl in length. The next two, three chambers, 1/2 whorl in length each, are arranged alternately on both sides of the long axis of the test. Occurrence: Upper Muschelkalk.Lenticulina (Astacolus) dobroviensis n. sp.                             (Table I, Fig. 10)Calcareous test transparent, small, in leaf-like shape, consisting of four chambers. Initial chamber oval, placed transversely, next chambers triangular. The last chamber strongly convex on the ventral side, covering the entire ventral side, and at its base adjoins the initial chamber. Deep sutures rest arcuately on septa. Occurrence: Upper Muschelkalk.Pachyphloides? triangularis n. sp.                (Table I, Figs. 11, 12)Test small, smooth, uniserial. In the initial part narrow, widening regularly upwards to obtain the final part 3–4 times greater width than in its initial part 8–9 chambers. Chamber initially round, the next chambers low, arcuate and saddle-shaped, slightly embracing each other. Sutures a little saddle-shaped. Occurrence: Upper Muschelkalk.Dentalina gerkei n. sp.                 (Table I, Fig. 13)Test small, elongated, slightly arcuately curved, consisting of 7–8 chambers arranged uniserially. Initial chamber slightly elongated, acutely terminated. The next chambers more convex, increase and take oval shape. The last chamber 2–3 times wider than the initial one. Occurrence: Upper Muschelkalk.Ramulina subcylindrica n. sp.                  (Table I, Figs. 14–16)Calcareous test, free, chambers oval more or less elongated, connected by means of tubes arranged rather unsymmetrically on both sides of the chambers. Occurrence: Upper Muschelkalk.Spirillina oberhauseri n. sp.               (Table I, Figs. 17, 18)Test small, planitspiral, consisting of a small initial chamber and of the second tubular chamber that makes 5–7 whorls. The last whorl is the widest one, separated by a slightly sunk suture. Occurrence: Upper Muschelkalk.OstracodaBairdia sohni n. sp.           (Table II, Figs. 4a, b, 5)Shell small, margin in the central part arcuately curved, passes in a wider, more rounded anterior end and sharp posterior end. Ventral margin almost straight or concave in the central part of the shell. Shell surface covered with fine pores.
