NEAR ROSEBUD, VICTORIA 
By W. J. Parr, F.R.M.S., 
Department of Mmes, Victoria. 
(Received for publication 15th March, 1945) 
The material examined and reported upon in this paper was 
collected by Mr. R. A. Keble, now Palaeontologist of the National 
Museum of Victoria, during his survey of the Mornington 
Peninsula, when an officer of the Geological Survey, and is from 
Mines Department Bore No. 5, jiarish of Wannaeue, 177-187 feet. 
The location of the bore is approximately 4 miles from Rosebud, 
on the road to Flinders. The greater part of the sample consisted 
of fine grey sand, which passed through a sieve of 60 meshes to 
the inch. The balance was almost wholly organic in origin, being 
made up of bryozoa, foraminifera, ostracoda, and molluscan 
remains, all being so broken up or small as with a few exceptions 
to pass through a sieve of 40 meshes to the inch. 
The following species of foraminifera, which are considered to 
be indigenous to the deposit, were met with : 
1. Textularia sagittula Defrance rare 
2. Glavulina multicamerata Chapman rare 
3. Planispirina hucculenta (Brady) rare 
4. Nubecularia lucifuga Defrance rare 
5. Quinqueloculina sp. cf. lamarchiana very rare

6. Q. suhpolygona Parr common 
7. Q. costata d’Orbigny common 
8. Q. seminulum (Linne) rare 
9. Q. vulgaris d’Orbigny rare 
10. SpiroiocuUna antillarum d’Orbigny very rare 
11. S. milletti Wiesner frequent
