DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES. 
Genus HYPERAMMINOIDES Cushman and Waters, 1928. 
Hyperamminoides acicula Parr, (PL III., Fig. 1.) 
Hyperamminoides sp. cf. proteus (Cushman and Waters), Crespin and 
Parr, 1940, p. 301, pi. xii, figs. 4 a, b; 5 a-c. 
Hyperamminoides acicula Parr, 1940, p. 105, pi. i, figs. 4, 5; pi. ii, fig. 4. 
Observations. — H. acicida is the commonest foraminiferal species 
in the Permian rocks of Australia, but few complete tests are available. 
The figured specimen from the Springsure district, Queensland, is 
incomplete. It is a slender form and resembles that figured by Parr 
(pi. 1, fig. 5, 1940) from the Lingula beds, Wandagee Station, Western 
Australia. The majority of specimens from Eastern Australia are 
stouter and usually more flattened than the type. Length of plesiotype, 
1.21 mm. ; greatest width, 0.22 mm. 
Occurrence . — Plesiotype (Comm. Pal. Coll. No. 271) : Dry Creek, 
“Inglelara” property, Springsure, Queensland (Middle Bowen Series). 
Other Localities. — Queensland. Middle Bowen Series: lower part of 
exposure, Argus’s Selection, Springsure; Arcadia Bore, at 2,070-2,075 
feet. Lower Bowen Series: Aldbaran Creek, 4 miles N.E. of Mt. 
Catherine, 30 miles W. of Rolleston; Watershed between Little Gorge 
and Cabbage Tree Creeks near Springsure; 3 miles from Cracow on 
road to Theodore. 
Neiv South Wales. Upper and Lower Marine Series: localities in 
the Hunter River District listed by Crespin and Parr (1940). Upper 
Marine Series : Balmain Bore, City of Sydney, between 4,750 and 4,845 
feet ; Kulnura Bore at various depths between 3,865 feet and 4,465 feet ; 
Bore J, Coorabin, 55 miles N.W. of Albury, at 384 feet. 
Lower Marine Series: Kulnura Bore, between 4,790 feet and 6,019 
feet. 
Genus AMMODISCUS Reuss, 1816. 
Ammodiscus multicinctus Crespin and Parr (PI. Ill, Fig. 2.). 
Ammodiscus multicinctus (Crespin and Parr, 1940, p. 303, pi. xii, 
figs, la, b. 
Observations. — This small species of Ammodiscus was described 
from beds belonging to the Lower Marine Series, in a railway cutting 
4 chains west of Farley Station, Hunter River District, New South Wales. 
The species is well represented in other Permian deposits in that district 
and also in those around Springsure, Queensland. The figured specimen 
is from this latter area. Diameter of plesiotype : 0.52 mm.
