TERTIARY FORAMINIFERA OF VICTORIA. 19 



the last-mentioned name, was recorded by Vine from the Port Phillip 

 Tertiaries. 



Occurrence. — Grice's Creek, frequent ; Balcombe's Bay, frequent ; Kacke- 

 raboite Creek, common ; Altona Bay Coal-Shaft, very common.

 Qmnquelociilina cuvieriana, d'Orbigny, 1839, Foi'am. Cuba, p. 190, pi. 11. figs. 19-21.

This is one of the more ubiquitous Miliolines in these Tertiary beds. It is 

 easily recognized by its prolonged oral extremity, the keeled edge of the test, 

 and sharply ridged median chamber. This form belongs to the M. vulgaris 

 type, but differs from that species in the above-mentioned particulars. In 

 the living condition it is found ranging from shallow water down to 

 95 fathoms. Howchin records it from the Lower Beds of Muddy Creek. 



Occurrence. — Grice's Creek, common ; Balcombe's Bay, common ; Kacke- 

 raboite Creek, frequent ; Altona Bay Coal-Shaft, common. 



MiLiOLiNA SEMiNULUM, Liune sp. (Plate 2. fig. 34.) 



Serpula seminulum, Linne, 1767, Syst. Nat. 12tli ed. p. 1264, No. 791 ; id., 1788, 13th 

 (Gmelin's) ed. p. 3739, No. 2. 



Miliolina seminulum Linn^ sp., Brady, 1884, Rep. Chall. vol. ix. p. 157, pi. 5. figs. 6 a-c 

 Howchin, 1889, Trans. R. Soc. S.Australia, vol. xii. p. 2. 



Our specimens are somewhat large and solidly built ; otherwise they are 

 quite typical. Howchin records it from both beds at Muddy Greek, and 

 Vine and Watts obtained it from the Port Phillip Tertiaries. 



Occurrence. — Grice's Creek, very rare ; Kackeraboite Creek, very rare. 



Miliolina contorta, dWrUgny sp. (Plate 2. fig. 35.) 



Quinqueloculina contorta, d'Orbigny, 1846, Foram. Tert. Vienna, p. 298, pi. 20. figs. 4-6. 

 Miliolina contorta, d'Orb. sp,, Goes, 1894, Arctic and Scand. Foram., Svenska Vetenskaps 

 Akad. Handlingar, vol. xxv. No. 9, p. Ill, pi. 20. figs. 851, 852. 



This is a species seldom recorded. Our specimens are exactly comparable 

 with d'Orbigny's figured example from the Miocene of the Vienna Basin. 

 It may perhaps be regarded as a weak form of Miliolina Ferussacii, d'Orb. sp., 

 and related to M. nicdosa, Karrer sp. 



Vine has already recorded M. contorta from the Port Phillip Tertiaries. 



Occurrence. — Grice's Creek, very rare ; Balcombe's Bay, very rare. 



Miliolina Ferussacii, d'Orbigny sp. (Plate 2. fig. 39.)

This species, as a fossil, dates from the Cretaceous, and it is found in nearly
