ABSTRACT: This paper presents a record of radiolarian species from the
sections (1H1-1H2) Leg 119 Site 738B of Southern Ocean region. Well diversified
taxa of typical Antarctic assemblage are present in the sections. Thirty
species were identified and illustrated from twenty-nine samples. On
the basis of appearance, disappearance and abundance of taxa, viz. Omega and
Psi zones are established and systematics of stratigraphically important
species is described. These zones are equivalent to NR1 and NR2 of Upper Quaternary.
