Note that this record includes Record 1945/014 by the same author. The Arcadia bore is situated in the parish of Arcadia, county of Westgrove, 85 miles north of Roma and 40 miles north-north-east of Injune. Drilling operations extended from 1936 to 1939 and were carried out by Drillers Limited. The bore was drilled in a large dome structure developed in Triassic and Permian sediments. The Arcadia bore is the second deep bore in Queensland from which a comprehensive series of samples has been examined for their microfaunal content. This examination was carried out on 1,256 samples consisting of drill cuttings taken over every five feet and of cores taken at numerous depths below 4,112 feet. The findings from the examination of these samples are described in this report.
