As a result of his work with Messrs. H. G, Higgins and E. Utting on 
the Wandagee beds, Dr. Teichert subdivides the Wandagee Stage as follows- 
(from above) : — 
Penestella-Helicoprion bods. 
Lainelli branch beds. 
CalceoUspongia-Strophalosia beds. 
Calceolispiongia -A ti losteges beds. 
Lingula beds. 
On the presence of the shark Helicoprion and the crinoid Calceolispongia,. 
he suggests an Artinskian rattier than a Uralian age for the beds. 
In a later personal communication, dated 18th May, 1940, Dr. Teichert 
states that, on a visit to Wandagee Station in 1940, he foimd an horizon 
higher than any previously met with, with the result that the total thick- 
ness of the Wandagee beds is increased from the 2,000 feet given in his paper 
to approximately 2,500 feet. With the exceptions noted later, the samples- 
examined by the w riter were from the new horizon and from the Calceolispon- 
gia (the G.-Slrophalosla and the G.-Aulostcges bods have not been different- 
iated) and the JAng'iila beds. 
As a result of the study of a large ((uantity of material, it w*as found 
that each of those beds was characterised by the presence of certain species 
wEicli occ'urred in practtically every sample from that horizon. It is therf'fore 
not necessary to give particulars of moi’c than some representative samples 
from each of the beds. Before dealing wn'th these in detail, it may be stated 
that the residiujs left- from the samples after treatment with hydrochloric 
acid consist almost wholly of foraminifera, ferruginous mud, fine angular (|uartz. 
grains, and frecjuently numt;rous flakes of mica. Evidence that silieification of 
some of the calcareous fossils has occurred is provided by the presence of sili- 
ceous replacements of mollus(!an shells in the residues. 
Pppermost beds (uiuuuncfl)— about 209 feet above Fenestella beds: 
(1) Highly ferruginous fine-grained sandstone from Nalbia Paddock, 
about 110 cliains due east of Trig. Station, Wandagee HilL 
(Coll. C. Teichert.) 
F orain i i lif era — 
Amniodiscus wandageeensis, sp. nov. common, exposed on 
weathered surface of rock. 
(2) Highly ferruginous fine-grained sandstone from Coolkilyia Flat, 
approximately I mile south of Homestead-Garden Road and 
I mile east of Shed-Ontcamp tele|)hone line. (Coll. H. Coley.) 
Fo r am ini f era — 
Ammodiscus wandageeensis, sj). nov. common, ex])osed on 
weathered surface of rock. 
Calceolispongi(t beds, 
(3) South of Minilya River. Light brown impiire limestone, near top 
of Calceolispongia-Aulosteges beds. (Coll. C. Teichert.) 
The residues after treatment with HCl consist principally of 
countless fragments of Hyperammina coleyi, sp. nov. 
F orarnini f era — 
Hyperammina coleyi, sp. nov. abundant. 
Hyperamminoides acicula, sp. nov. frequent.
