Devonian, Buchan, by Sir Frederick ]McCoy^ and Favosites grandi- 

 pora, Etl). til., by Mr. R. Etheridge, Junr., from tlie Lilydale 

 Limestone.- Sir Frederick records F. goldfussi also from Cooper's 

 Creek, Thompson River,'* associated with corals of species allied 

 to Cyathophylluiii asspitosuiii, Trematopora ostiolata, Hall, and 

 Cladopora fibrosa., Hall, and the same species of Trematopora 

 from Deep Creek, on the Thompson River. Favosites fibrosa, 

 Goldfuss, is recorded from Upper Silurian rocks at Jamieson,* 

 and also from an Upper Silurian sandstone ridge between Whroo 

 and Coy's Diggings.^ Heliolites interstiiictiis, Linn., has been 

 collected from L^pper Silurian beds at AVaratah Bay,'' and also 

 from a locality tive miles E.N.E. of Redcastle.' Pleiirodictyuin 

 tnegastoniuui, McCoy (M.S.), a form with which our F/eurodict- 

 yinn sp. probably is identical, is mentioned in Sir Frederick's 

 Essay on the Natural History of Victoria as occurring in the 

 Upper Yarra District.** This form is also quoted by Roemer.'-* 

 Stroniatopora concentrica, Goldfuss, is mentioned as occurring in 

 the Devonian limestones of Bindi.^" Mr. Etheridge also records 

 the occurrence of three distinct species of Stromaiopora from the 

 Wenlock (Upper Silurian) limestone of Lilydale." From the 

 same locality J\lr. Cresswell notes Heliolitec, sp., and Cyatho- 

 phylliun, sp.^- Sir Frederick McCoy also mentions" the occur- 

 rence of new species of fossil corals at Waratah Bay, but gives no 

 clue as to what they are. Species of Petraia have also been 

 recorded from Kal Kal" and Kilmore^' by McCoy. 



Judging from the meagre collections that have hitherto been 

 made it would appear that the Palaeozoic coral fauna was not so 

 well developed in Victoria as in New South Wales and Queens-
