Panojocta Aldrovandi has been obtained in some abundance upon the 



shores of the Gulf of Lyons in a semifossil condition, indicating that, 



although very rare now at any part of the Mediterranean, it was 



common at the commencement of the Eecent period. Pecten maccimus, 



which is also found abundantly in a semifossil state, is now almost 



replaced by the P. jacobceus. E. T. N.

Describes specimens related to Isis hippuris (E. and S.), /. corallina 



(Mor.), and /. coralloides (Ed. and H.) from the No. 3 or Upper Coralline 



Bed of the Cape Otway Tertiary Section, Victoria (= the Polyzoal 



Limestone or " Crag" of the Mount Gambler Section, S. Australia).

Specimens referred to the genera Isis and Corallium are described 



from the Awawo railway-cutting, Oamaru, obtained in the upper part 



of the Oamaru Formation (= Trelissic Group of Hutton), probably

Describes, under the name of Dendrophyllia epithecata, certain speci- 

 mens forming a new section of the genus De^idrophyllia, with a fully 

 developed wall-like epitheca. The deposit at Table Cape, Tasmania, 

 from which this coral was obtained is correlated with the Lower 

 Cainozoic series of the Australian mainland, from the occurrence in it 

 of Placotrochus deltoideus, a coral possessing a well-marked and definite 

 geological horizon in the latter. E. E., Jun.

After a short introduction, the author gives a brief geographical 



review of the materials which he examined for microscopic organisms 



from 86 localities in different parts of the world, all yielding the 



remains of marine animals. The third part (pp. 6-105) is occupied 



5vith a detailed list of the names of all the organisms recognized in the
