The writers describe and figure 68 species of foraminifera from the so-called "Temblor clay shale" which overlies the oil-bearing Vaqueros sandstone in the Santa Barbara coastal region of California. The foraminifera were obtained from a series of 66 samples collected at rather regular intervals throughout the 2,000 feet of "clay shale" continuously exposed in a southern dipping monocline along Los Sauces Creek, south of Casitas Pass, in Ventura County, California. The distribution and range of the species of foraminifera in this section are shown in a check list. The faunal zones are indicated not only on a check list, but also on a structure section, a columnar section, and a map of the area. Comparisons are made, furthermore, between the zonal assumblages represented in this section and those found in Temblor and Vaqueros strata of several other localities in the central Coast Ranges and the San Joaquin Valley.
