The foraminifera, witli the exception of Calcitoniella stephcnsi, are all 
species coiLstmcting theii' sliells of extraneons material, nsnally (piartz grains, 
cemented together by the animal. As the .species are iniarly all new, a clo.se 
com arison with faunas elsewhere is not po.ssible. Tw o of' the .specie.s, Cal- 
oitornella stephensi anil Amitiobaculifes iroolrioiic/hi, have lioon dascribetl from 
the Permian of Eastern Australia, d’lie genera, with the o.xception of Hyper- 
amminoides and CalcitorneUa, all occur living at the present day. Cushman 
(1933, pp. 161, SI) states that (’filcitornella occurs in the Peim.sylvanian and 
the Permian, but that Hypcramminoides is known only from the Pennsylvanian. 
Cnshman and Waters, however, described at least 'one species of Hyperani- 
mmotdes, H. glabra, from tho upper part of the Clraham formation of Texa.s, 
U.S.A. Raggatt and Fleiohor (1937, p. 179) state that, while this was origin- 
ally placed in the Pennsylvanian, it is now, they undm-stand, considered to be 
Lower Permian. 
Arenaceous foraminiforal faunas of tho typo occurring in tlio Wandagee 
beds are in present day seas charactertstio of cold water, the genus Hyperam- 
mina, cvhich is .so common at W andagee, is a.s a Recent genus widely distributed, 
but is most abunilantly represented in cool w'aters, tho temperature of the 
ivater having more control than the depth. Tho related, but now extinct 
Hyperamrmnoides probably occurred under .similar conditions. Crithionina 
IS also particularly characteristic of cold wat(!r. 
Tho impure limc'stones and calcareous fmo-gniined sandstones in which 
these and the other foraminifera occur in tho Wandagee beds indicate .seas of 
no great depth, so it can be assumrTl that they represent a cool, moderately- 
shallow water facies. 
The types of tlu' uew species described ami other figured specimens have 
been deposited in the collection of the Oeology Department, University of 
Western Australia. Examples of most of tho si)ecics will also be lodged in the
