Papillatabairdia, a New Ostracod Genus from Brisbane Water, New South Wales
Christopher Bentley
Abstract. A new pocopid ostracod genus, Papillatabairdia (Bairdiacea, Bairdiidae), is described from Brisbane Water, N.S.W., with a new species, Papillatabairdia dentata.

Distributional Weber Transformation
R.S. Pathak and R.K. Pandey
Abstract. It is shown that the classical Weber transform,
can be extended to a space of distributions W'(a,∞). An inversion formula is obtained and some applications of a resulting operational calculus are indicated.

Stratigraphic Palynology of the Castlereagh River Valley, New South Wales
Helene A. Martin
Abstract. The palynology of some thirty-five shallow water bores in the Castlereagh River Valley is presented here. The palynology shows that the age of the basement to the groundwater system is Early Cretaceous around Gilgandra and downstream. Upstream of Gilgandra the basement age is mainly Triassic with one occurrence of the Jurassic and two late Permian assemblages.
The oldest assemblage in the overlying Cainozoic alluvium is mid-late Miocene. Younger Pliocene and Pleistocene assemblages were also found although most of the alluvium was barren.

Conversion of Map Grid-References from the Yard to Metre Systems
Alan A. Day
Abstract. A simple procedure is set out for the conversion of map grid-references of locations in eastern New South Wales from the superseded Australian Survey Grid expressed in yards, used on the discontinued series of one inch to one mile "military" maps, to the Australian Map Grid expressed in metres. The procedure is intended for scientific use, with internal standard error of ±50 metres and is not intended for surveying purposes.
