species. Like the Spirifers, previously described, their preser- 

 vation is unsatisfactory, but they appear to correspond better 

 with the characters assigned by Mr Davidson to Von Buch's 

 species than to any other. The shape of the shell appears to 

 be much the same, and there is the bending down of the front 

 margin of the dorsal valve quite apparent in all the speci- 

 mens. On submitting the specimens to Mr Davidson he 

 replied that " the Bhynchonellce seem to be very close to the 

 B. primi^ilaris of the Devonian."

Ohs. — A very well marked and clear specimen of this 

 variable shell was forwarded with the other specimens, but 

 unfortunately through a mishap to the parcel containing it, 

 when passing through the post, the specimen was lost.

CAEBONIFEEOUS SPECIES. 



Class Actinozoa. 



This class is represented by two species of Lonsdale's genus 

 Stenopora from the fossiliferous and decomposed nodular 

 ironstone of Coral Creek, Bowen Eiver coalfield, and there is 

 one specimen of a rugose coral from a similar bed on Parrot 

 Creek, four and a half miles up. These corals have been 

 described in a separate communication by Professor H. A. 

 Nicholson, M.D., and myself*
