In the above list of 64 species there are 19 species and one genus which 
have not hitherto been recognised within the Australian area. These 
additions to our foraminiferal fauna are indicated by an * for the species 
and + for the genus. The large number of species here indicated new to 
our Eocene beds (amounting to one-third of the whole) is a remarkable 
result. This is particularly noteworthy in the Lagen«, for of the 11 species 
in the list more than half are noted for the first time. The genus Spiro- 
plecta has a geological history dating from the Gault, and our species, 
S. annectans, was dredged by the Challenger in Torres Straits. Reophax 
bacillaris has not previously been recognised in a fossil condition, neither 
has Spirillina limbata var. denticulata, which appears to be represented in 
the material by one immature example. This form was also dredged by the 
Challenger both in Bass’s and Torres Straits. Of the other new forms, 
Nodosaria hispida dates from the Trias, Textularia globulosa, Lagena acuti- 
costa, and Pulvinulina Micheliniana from the Cretaceous, and the remainder 
have more or less of a Tertiary distribution. The interesting form Marg- 
inulina Pecketi, var. spinosa was discovered and described by Franz Schrodt, 
from the Pliocene beds of Garrucha, in the south of Spain (1890).
