FOSSIL FORAMINIFERA FROM THE BURDWOOD BANK 13 CORRELATION OF THE REGIONAL STRATIGRAPHY Marine Upper Cretaceous (Senonian) strata are known in Southern Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego/ where, following Wilckens, they are termed the San Jorge Series, and possibly extend up into the Danian. In Graham Land similar strata form part of the Snow Hill Beds and Seymour Island In each area they contain an abundant fauna of ammonites; one that is common to both gives its name to beds in the Pata- gonian area, Lahillia luisa, Wilckens. This ammonite fauna is said to resemble those of the same age so far afield as Natal, Southern India, Japan and Vancouver. In addition the fauna includes corals, Mollusca, Fig. 2. Through the kindness of Dr G. W. Tyrrell, material for comparison from the Cumberland Bay Series of South Georgia was available from the Ferguson Collection in the Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow. From this series an ammonite was collected by Dr Konig of the German Antarctic Expedition under Lieut. Filchner, and is possibly of Cretaceous age; Radiolaria believed to be Mesozoic were found in the material in the Ferguson Collection.^ The material now examined consisted of hard, 1 Cf. O.
