1966 FRIEDA BILLlNGS CUSHMAN (October 20, 1880 - March 21, 1966)

The numerous students and paleontologists who have worked at the Cushman Labora­ wry for Foraminiferal Research, Sharon, Massachusetts, will be saddened to learn of the ath of Mrs. Frieda Billings Cushman. Mrs. Cushman published no papers as an author, ut she made num'eI:ous indirect and important contributions to the study of Foraminifera. \ 5 the wife of the late Joseph Augustine Cushman, the founder and director of the Cush­ an Laboratory, her unusual vitality was devoted daily to maintaining a schedule and to pe rforming routine and odd duties that would have dissipated the energy of the Director. Frieda Gerlach Billings was born in Roxbury, Massachusetts, the second and only liv­ g child of Frank S. Billings and Harriet M. (Roulstone) Billings. A son born earlier had 'ed in infancy while Frieda's father was studying in Germany. In 1913 Frieda came as a _ride to a new home in Sharon, and there she assumed the care of the three young children _ Joseph A. Cushman-Robert Wilson, Alice Eleanor, and Ruth Allerton. For more than :0 years she lived in the house at 76 Brook Road and was the last to leave it after making _ ne rous dispositions of the various paintings, antiques, books and other personal treasures ontained. After a brief illness, she died in the adjoining town of Norwood. In the home on Brook Road, Mrs. Cushman created an atmosphere of hospitality and aintained a schedule of her own numerous family and community activities as well as those Ji. the Cushman Laboratory. Her extraordinary organizational ability facilitated two trips to Europe-in 1927 and 1932-for visits to scientific colleagues and to museums. Annual sum­ rtime schedules included moving both the family and much of the laboratory work to a _ mmer place on Cape Cod in the early years and to a cottage in Randolph Valley north of -" Presidential Range in New Hampshire in the later years. At various times Mrs. Cushman and her cousin, Miss Susan Minns, donated consider­ Ie funds to bear the costs of monographic studies and publication. After Dr. Cushman's th, a large gift was instrumental in launching the Cushman Foundation for Foraminiferal earch whose Contributions series is now in its 17th volume and whose Special Publications :>ries numbers seven, with others in process. All paleontologists who use the extraordinary volume of publications that came from aron or have been published by the Cushman Foundation are in some way indebted to this lendid lady. Those who had the good fortune to study at the laboratory will recall with _ asure Mrs. Cushman's outgoing personality, her warm hospitality, and her interesting oded tours to New England's places of historic and literary significance.

ABSTRACT Ten e

INTRODUCTION During the summer of 1963 ten surface sediment samples were collected from the fjord between the . lands of Stromo and Ostero and from a small lord on the South coast of the adjacent island of \"aago, in the Faeroe Islands (text fig. I). A 10 :nl. dry standard measure of each sample was seived .u 500, 250, 152 and 75 microns, (corresponding to OSTERO sand size fractions of the Wentworth scale of ..diments), and studied for foraminiferal content .lJld associated fauna content. Six samples were :ound to be barren of foraminifera whilst varying STROMa ;,umbers of twelve species of foraminifera were re­ ::ieved from the remaining samples. The samples "",re collected as part of the U.C.W. Geography De partment Expedition to the Faeroes 1963.
