In this sample at least 
two different litho¬ 
logical seams are 
mixed. There are 
pieces of earthy, cal¬ 
careous, polyzoal rock, 
with frequent moulds 
of fossils ; and also a 
series of Kalimnan fos¬ 
sils, carrying fragments 
of a sandy, glauoonitio 
matrix 
No traces of fossils. Small “ clay-galls ” of a 
reddish colour are not uncommon. 
Containing a doubtful impression of a polyzoan. 
No fossils. 
Comminuted shells in abundance ; the fragments 
with rounded edges. They are bored in all 
directions by a parasitic organism, either a 
fungus or an alga. It will therefore be seen 
that thi3 deposit was originally subjected to 
currents in denuded submarine areas. 
Numerous glauconite grains are present, of a 
dark to pale apple-green colour. Especially 
minute specimens of foraminifera, of the fol¬ 
lowing genera and species occur :— Bolivina 
robusta, Brady; Anomalina ammonoides , 
Rss. sp. ; Rotalici beccarii, L. sp. ; R. clathrata , 
Brady ; Polystomella crispa, L. sp. Other fossil 
remains include an indeterminate fragment of 
an echinoid, a few rolled fragments of polyzoa, 
and an operculum of a gasteropod. 
No fossils met with. 
This sample contains an assemblage of forami¬ 
nifera similar in character to that from 154 
to 190 feet, and indicative of shallow water or 
estuarine conditions. 
Foraminifera. — Discorbina turbo, d’Orb. 
sp.; Truncatulina lobatula , W. and J. sp. ; 
Rotaiia beccarii, L. sp. ; Polystomella crispa t 
L. sp.; P. macella, F. and M. sp. 
Mollusca. —Shell-fragments, much water- 
worn and impregnated with glauconite, are 
abundant, but generally too characterless 
to determine. Olycimeris sp., however, could 
be identified. 
Crustacea.— A fragmentary plate of (?) 
Balanus. 
Pisces. —A polished plate, probably from 
the dentary portion of a fish, such as Diodon ; 
also otoliths of a teleostean fish. 
The fossils occurring in this sample are— 
(?) Clypeaster gippslandicus, McCoy (a frag¬ 
ment) ; Limopsis insolita, G. Sow. sp. ; 
Olycimeris convexus, Tate sp. (very common) ; 
O. halli, Pritchard ; CrassaUllites Icing icoloides, 
Pritch. ; Corbula ephamilla, Tate ; Natica sub- 
stolida, Tate. 
In the polyzoal rock, impressions of Orbito- 
lites complanata, Lam. and Limatula jeffreysi- 
ana, T. W. occur.
