A seismic survey was carried out near Roma during 1949-50, being part of a geophysical programme to search for structures likely to be significant for oil exploration. As preparation and publication of the final report on the survey may take some time it is desired to present briefly the main results in the form of a preliminary report. The first phase of the geophysical survey work at Roma comprised gravity and magnetic surveys, the results of which were presented in Bulletin No. 18. The residual gravity pattern revealed two possible structural high closures. The object of the seismic surveys was to prove or disprove the existence of these structures, and to obtain more detail concerning them if proved.
