Abstract
THE apparent absence of certain stratigraphically important planktonic Foraminifera from the Australian and New Zealand Tertiary rocks has made it difficult to correlate these sequences with the more tropical Tertiary sequences1. A recent examination of rocks from the North Auckland region of New Zealand has yielded what appears to be a warmer water fauna.
