Palceozoic Corals from Northern Queensland. 283 



Horizon and Locality. Arthur's Creek, Burdekin Downs, 

 North Queensland. Devonian Limestone. 

 Collector. R. L. Jack, Esq. 



In addition to the corals which we have now described, the 

 Arthur's-Creek Limestone has yielded a colony of Lithostrotion 

 or Lonsdaleia, enveloped in a mass of Stromatopora, and partly 

 silicified. In all probability it is a species of the former 

 genus. 



5. Distribution of the Species and. Age of the Beds.

 the Sonoma road-crossing, in the Bowen-River Coal-field, have
