Ill compiling this list of the fossil Cheilostomatous Polyzoa 

 found in the Victorian Tertiary deposits, I have followed Dr. 

 MacGillivray's classification as given in his " Monograph of the 

 Tertiary Polyzoa of Victoria."^ In addition to my own observa- 

 tions I have included Dr. MacGillivray's records in his mono- 

 graph, Mr. Waters' in the Q.J.G.S. for 1881, ef seq., and Mr. 

 Mulder's in the"Geelong Naturalist " for March, 1904, distin- 

 guishing Dr. MacGillivray's records by an *, Mr. Waters by a f, 

 and Mr. Mulder's by a |. These records are, however, inserted 

 only in cases where I have not observed the species in the differ- 

 ent localities, and I have not deemed it necessary to indicate 

 their records where they are the same as mine. I would here 

 note that Dr. MacGillivray, in his records of the fossil species 

 occurring in the Muddy Creek deposits (inserted in column 6), 

 did not discriminate between the upper and lower beds, but I 

 have included them so as to make the list as complete as possible, 

 and also those of Mr. Waters from the same locality for the 

 same reason. My records in that column are of specimens from 

 the lower beds. 



The total number of species recorded is 466, of which 125, or 

 28 per cent., are also living, though not all in Australian waters. 

 The following is a summary of a comparison of the fossil and 

 recent species. 



The single species of Liriozoidae and Bigemellariidae are not 

 found living. Of the 79 species of Catenicellidae recorded as 

 fossil, 10 are also living in Victoria, one in South Africa, and 

 one in the South Atlantic. Of Calwelliidae there is only one 

 fossil species, and that is different from the recent ones. In the 

 Cellulariidae there are 15 fossil species, 3 of which are living in 

 Australia. There is only one fossil species of Bicellariidae ; it is
