The samples of chalk examined for a micro-fauna came from two localities in the Dandaragan district: "Kayanaba" Station and "Chelsea" Station. The material yielded numerous fairly well preserved tests of foraminifera and ostracoda referable to Upper Cretaceous species. The results of the examination are recorded in this report.
