NUMMULINID.T-:. 



Polystomella crispa, Linn Y C 



Only ten species have been recorded at this horizon. The 

 material is of a characternot particularly favorable for the presence 

 of foraminifera. Rotalia Beccarii and Polystomella crispa are the 

 prevailing forms, both of which are characteristic of shallow water 

 conditions. 



MIOCENE. 



LOCALITIES. 



No. 1. — From material collected by Professor Tate from the 

 Murray Cliffs, near the North-West Bend Station. It is a fine sand 

 Avith a small proportion of argillaceous matter Avith it. Forami- 

 nifera scarce. 



No. 2. — A fine reddish sand (similar to No. 1) gathered from 

 beds exposed when cutting foundations for new engine-sheds near 

 the west end of Torrens Lake, Adelaide. The foraminifera are 

 somewhat sparingly distributed through the bed, but as there is 

 little or no infiltration of mineral matter in the chambers they can 

 be easily separated from the material by water. 



No. 3. — The upper bed of the Muddy Creek section, near 

 Hamilton, Western Victoria. Material supplied by Mr. J. 

 Dennant.
