Batesford Limestone. 287 



and at a few localities in the Eastern Archipelago. C. protei- 

 forniis has been previously recorded as a fossil from the Bal- 

 combian of Muddy Creek by Mr. Howchin. 



It is not uncommon both in the Filter Quarries and the Upper 

 Quarry : the specimens met with show a wide range of varia- 

 tion, 



Pulvinulina puuctulata, d'Orb. sp. 



P. punctulata. dOrb. sp., Brady, 1884, Rep. ChalL, vol. IX., 

 p. 685, pi. CIV., Figs, \1a-c. 



The peripheral edge of our specimen is more evenly rounded 

 than usual. The surface is coarsely pitted, the sutures deeply 

 marked, and the inferior surface tends to become granulate at 

 the umbilicus, as in Discorbina, to which this form bears some 

 affinity. P. punctulata does not seem to have been previously 

 noticed in the Australian tertiaries, but it is known from ter- 

 tiary strata in other parts of the world. 



One specimen from the Filter Quarries. 



Pulvinulina concentrica. Parker and Jones. 



P. concentrica, Parker and Jones. 1864 (in Brady), Trans. Linn. 

 Soc. Lond., vol. XXIV., p. 470, pi. XLVIIL, Fig. 14. 

 Parker and Jones, 1865, Phil. Trans., vol. CLV., p. 393, 

 Brady. 1884. Rep. Chalk, vol. IX.. p. 686, pi. CV., Figs. 

 la-c. 



P. conce?itrica occurs as a fossil in the Miocene of Southern 

 Italy. It was figured by Seguenza under the name of Discor- 

 hina vestita. As a recent form it was found, among other 

 localities, off Kandavu, Fiji Ids., and off Raine Islet, Torres 

 Strait. 



Rare in the Filter Quarries. 



Pulvinulina partschiana, d'Orbigny sp. 



Rotalina partschiana. d'Orbigny, 1846, Foram. Foss. Vienne, 

 p. 153, pi. VII., Figs. 28-30 ; pi. VIII., Figs. 1-3. Pul- 

 vinulina partschiana, d'Orbigny, sp., Brady, 1884, Rep.
