356 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION C. 



Trans, lioy. Soc. S.A., 1889, vol. xii., p. 1. A few alterations 

 in the nomenclature have been made in the list as now published, 

 to bring it up to date, and also includes two additional species 

 — Trillina Hoivchini, Sch. — through the industry of Mons. 

 Schlumberger, of Paris, who discovered this new species in a 

 sample of the material sent him,* and Fabularia Howchijii, Sch., 

 descrijitions of which will be found in Trans. Hoy. Soc, S.A., vol. 

 XIV., p. 346. PL XIIL, Figs. 5-8. 



3. In January, 1885, Mr. H. Watts, of Melbourne, sent me a 

 few slides of mounted foraminifera for identification, selected by 

 himself from the Lower Tertiary beds of Waurn Ponds, near 

 Geelong. Column 3 in the subjoined table gives the results of the 

 determination. For a note on the occurrence of Astrorhiza angulosa, 

 Br., in this series, see Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A., 1885, vol. viTi.,p. 160. 



4. For the species indicated in the fourth column I am indebted 

 to Mr. R. M. Johnstone, F.L.S., who published a list of the fora- 

 minifera of the Eocene beds of Table Cape, Tasmania, in his 

 "Observations with respect to the Nature and Classification of 

 the Rocks of Australia," and the same has been reproduced in his 

 work on "The Geology of Tasmania." In addition to the species 

 indicated in the column below, Mr. Johnstone has noted the 

 presence of the following genera, of which he was unable to 

 determine the specific relationships, viz., Biloculijia, Miliolina, 

 Cassidulina, Polymoijyhina, OrhuUna, Nonionina, and Nummulites. 



5. The Mount Gambier determinations in column 5 were made 

 by Messrs. W. K. Parker and T. Rupert Jones, F.G.S. (See 

 " Foraminifera from the Bryozoan Limestone near Mount Gambier, 

 South Australia," Quar. Jour. Geol. Soc, 1860, vol. xvi., p. 261.) 



6. In a letter to the "Geological Magazine," 1876, p. 324, Mr, 

 R. Etheridge, jun., includes a list of foraminifera determined by 

 the late Dr. H. B. Brady, F.R.S., from material secured "in 

 sinking a Government well in the Murray River flats, on the road 

 from the Burra Burra mines to the great bend on the Murray River, 

 about half-way (thirty miles) between the two points named." In 

 this letter the beds are erroneously said to be of Post-Tertiary age. 

 Dr. Brady's list is given in column 6. 



7. The material which supplied the forms indicated in this 

 column was obtained from the Government bore put down in the 

 waterworks yard, Kent Town, Adelaide, in 1881. The lithological 

 characteristics of these beds differ considerably from those known 

 on the eastern side of the Mount Lofty Ranges, consisting of brown 

 and greenish argillaceous sands, and are underlain by a series of 

 freshwater beds. Fuller notes on the foraminifera of this section 

 will be found in an article on " The Foraminifera of the Older 

 Tertiary of Australia (No. 2), Kent Town Bore, Adelaide," Trans. 

 Roy. Soc. S.A., 1891, vol. xiv., p. 350.
