In 1945 samples from 23 bores, which had been drilled for water in the Great Artesian Basin in northern and northeastern South Australia and in the southern Northern territory, were selected for micro-palaeontological examination by the writer. It was hoped to find a microfaunal assemblage in the sediments which would be of value to zoning the beds. A short account of the results is given in this report.
