Holocene foraminifera from Thross Estuary and Coila Lake, south coast, New South Wales: A preliminary study

Two estuaries on the New South Wales south coast, Tuross Estuary and Coila Lake, were sampled for Foraminifera. Thirty-seven taxa were identified from surface samples but only those requiring extensive taxonomic revision are discussed. The species composition of the total assemblage at each of the sample sites was analysed and the reasons for species distribution explored. A new species, Fissurina breviductus sp. nov., is described.
