[Plates I. & II.] 



I AM indebted to the kindness of the President and Council of 

 the Geological Society of London, through the Assistant 

 Secretary, Mr. W. S. Dallas, F.L.S., and to Mr. T. Davidson, 

 F.R.S., for the opportunity of describing four of the following 

 species from the Tertiary beds of Mount Gambler. The 

 remaining specimen I have been permitted to boiTOw from the 

 small foreign collection of the Museum of Practical Geology ; 

 it is from similar beds at the Murray-River Cliffs, near the 

 Great Bend, South Australia. Had it not been for Mr. Da- 

 vidson's considerate help, both in information and the loan of 

 specimens, I should have been unable to complete these 

 notes ; I therefore take this opportunity of thanking him for 

 his kind assistance. 



Bibliography . — So far as known to me, the following is a 

 brief digest of previous writings in connexion with Australian 

 Tertiaiy Brachiopoda. 



Capt. Sturt, during his memorable exploration of the river 

 Murray, collected a few fossils from the Murray Cliffs, which 

 are figured in the account of his exploration f- The only 

 Brachiopod there represented \ was afterwards described and 

 figured from another locality by Mr. G. B. Sowerby, in Count 



late flavo-testaceis ; cephalothorace subtil issime granuloso, segmenta 

 duo prima caudae conjunctim longitudine paullo superante ; cauda 

 cephaJothorace quadruplo longiore, segmentis anterioribus desuperne 

 visis in lateribus leviter rotundatis ; dentibus pectinum circa 13. Long, 

 circa 54 millim. Nova Hollandia. 



" fv-, well, true; o-KopTr/or, scorpion. I have preferred the termination 

 us to o or on in names composed of a-Kopnios (-loiv) and another Greek 

 word, a scorpion being in Greek called a-Kopnius ; o-icopTr/wi/ signifies the 

 shooting-engine called by the Romans Scorpio or scorptiis.
