The Lower Pennsylvanian Atoka formation of Oklahoma contains one of the oldest fusulinid faunas known, and the fauna of the Boggy formation is only slightly younger. Representatives of the fusulinid genera Staffella, Fusulinella, and possibly Wedekindellina occur in both of these formations, and Fusulina s. s. is represented in the Boggy. In this paper the genus Fusulinella is discussed at some length and its limits are redefined; five species of Fusulinella, one of Wedekindellina, and one of Fusulina s. s. are described and illustrated; and two species of Staffella and two poorly preserved representatives of Fusulina s. s. are discussed. Four of the species of Fusulinella are new.
