Free-living heterotrophic stramenopile flagellates, which lack chloroplasts, were encountered in deep-sea sediments of Gippsland Basin (Australia) and classified into 10 species (8 genera, 5 families, 3 orders). Their descriptions were based on living specimens by light microscopy. Those species rarely found in this study were Bicosoeca gracilipes, Caecitellus parvulus, Cafeteria minuta, Cafeteria roenbergensis, Pseudobodo tremulans, Spumella sp., Paraphysomonas sp., Actinomonas mirabilis, Ciliophrys infusionum and Developayella elegans. Their morphological characters and geographic distribution are presented.

To investigate the sedimentary environments on the coastal areas of Imja to Nakweol islands which show very complex shorelines and several zonal sand ridges in NE-SW direction, southwestern coast of Korea, a total of forty samples were taken by a grab sampler and sedimentological and micropaleontological studies on those samples were carried out. The present study area are classified into muddy sandy gravel, sand, city sand, sandy silt and silt facies. With statistical moment parameters such as mean, sorting, skewness and ketosis for the sediments in the study area, the sediments are generally categorized as shallow sedimentary facies. The characters that are observed in quartz grains among the sandy sediments of the study area imply the existence of high energy environments, temporal exposures in atmosphere and the mixing of clastic sediments of the several different origins. In the sediments of the study area, one genera belonging to six silicoflagellata species and five genera belonging to five nannoplankton species were detected. On the basis of the micro-organism assemblage, the study area seems to be influenced by active reworking dominantly under warm water masses. In addition, organic matter ad carbonate contents in the sediments did not show a definite relation with the occurrences of the micro-organisms in the study area.
