In July, 1948, the writer visited Roma with the object of collecting material for micropalaeontological study as no similar investigation had been carried out on the sediments in the area which Whitehouse refers to as the Roma Series. Systematic collections were made and the results of the examination so far have been entirely satisfactory. About two hundred samples were collected for examination for foraminifera and where possible specimens of typical species of the larger fossils of the Roma series were gathered. This report comprises a brief overview of the visit, notes on the samples, and notes on foraminiferal assemblages in the deposits in the Roma area.
