InrRopucTION.—The fossils about to be described 
constitute the collection of Inocerami made by Carl 
Lumholz from Minnie Downs, near Tambo, Queensland, in 
1881, and subsequently deposited in the geological museum 
of the University of Kristiania. Several of the specimens 
were later transferred to the University of Lund. 
I would take this opportunity of expressing my 
gratitude to Professors Kiaer, of Kristiania, and Grénwall, 
of Lund, for their kindness in placing the whole of the 
collection at my disposal. The examination of this material 
was undertaken in connection with a general revision of 
the Queensland Inocerami, the results of which are to be 
pullished some time later. Owing to the fact that the 
present forms represent a definite collection lodged outside 
Australia, it was deemed advisable to publish the following 
account separately. A redescription of the type of J. 
maximus Lumholz was found necessary since the account 
given by Lundgren! contains a very serious error. 
The large specimen which constitutes the type of J. 
mactmus was found weathered out from the matrix. The 
other specimens, however, were encased in a block of stand- 
stone which was subsequently sawn in two. The Kristixnia 
portion, when it reached me, measured 14 ins. x 7 ins. x 
6 in., and was crowded with large specimens of Inocerami 
with both valves in apposition in nearly every case. By 
permission a large number of these forms were removed 
from the matrix for description in this paper.
