which a fenced-in grave stands ; the a igillaceous limestone fi-om 

 which they were taken has been upheaved by the intrusive basalt, 

 and where the limestone was sufficiently pure it has been con- 

 verted into a coarse kind of marble." The Sm-vey reference 

 to the locality is Ad. 1"J, Section 23, Block 1, Parish of Moolap. 

 A sketch is added by Daintree, vvhich is here reproduced. Lin- 

 thia antiaustralis was described, but not figured by Pro- 

 fessor Tate. It may therefore lie appropriate to give illus- 

 trations of the present example. The specie.s differs from the 

 living L. australii^', as Tate points out, amongst other features, 

 in its greater heiglit, less tumid sides, and tiie shallower 

 ambulacral zones having the anterior pair a little longer than 

 the posterior, ;is compared with L. australis, in which they are 

 of about equal length. Another important character is the dif- 

 ference in the angle of divergence in the posterior pair of am- 

 bulacra in the two forms, that of L. antiaustralis beinof 50 deer., 

 whilst in the living species it is 4.3 deg. 



Locality and Horizon. — Curlewis, near Geelong. Tertiary

Observations. — An incomplete specimen of a very large ex- 

 amjile of this handsome echinoid occurs in the National Museum 

 collection. It was purchased from Mr. J. F. Bailey, who ob- 

 tained it from the Beaumaris Cliffs. There is no doubt as to 

 the accuracy of this locality, since this is sufficiently shown by 

 the matrix of the specimen. 



Duncan gives 2f inches as the length of his type specimen, 

 and 2A inches as the breadth. Tlie present specimen has a 

 breadth of 3^ inches, while the length when complete would 

 hiwe been about Sf inches. The locality which Duncan gives 

 for the type specimen is the Mouth of the Sherliro^k River 

 (loc. cit., p. 53). Messrs. Dennant and Kitson, in their Cata- 

 logue of Cainozoic Fossils, J- give an additional locality, Aklinga.
