 Tertiaries of Victoria.

[Eead 10th July, 1902.] 



In the present communication I figure and remark upon some 

 fossils which have come into my hands from time to time from 

 the Victorian Tertiaries. The presence of some of the genera has 

 already been indicated in various lists which have been published, 

 but the evidence of their correct identification afforded by descrip- 

 tions and illustrations has not been given. In only two instances 

 have I ventured to attach specific names, as I am unable in the 

 case of the remainder to point to differences from other forms. It 

 so happens that all the forms referred to have modern analogues, 

 but it must be borne in mind that they are associated with others 

 whose facies is far older, a fact to be bore in mind when attempts 

 to correlate our formations with those elsewhere are made by 

 those unfamiliar with the fauna as a whole. 

 The following fossils are treated : — 



Melitodes (?) sp. 



Pentagonaster, sp. 



cf. Sigsbeia, sp. 



Chirodota, sp. 



Salmacina (?) tereta, n. sp. 



Lepas pritchardi, n. sp. 



Alcyonapia. 



Goro^onidae. 



Melitodes (?) sp. (PI. XL, Figs. 1, 2, 3). 



Several specimens of the calcified segments of an Alcyonian 

 stem from " Forsyth's " appears identical with those of a speci- 

 men of Melitodes in the Museum of the Biological department
