JuEASsic Fossils from Centeal Al'stralta. 



Avicula Barhlyi, Moore, "in the bed of the Peake Creek." 

 Avicula Corbiensis, Moore, Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc, vol. 

 xxvi., t.ll., f 7., and 



JBelemnites, n. sp. " were found at the Primrose Springs." 

 Naiica variabilis, Moore, Avicula Barhlyi, Moore, Corbula 

 n. sp., and CJiione (?) sp., were contained in a "shelly black lime- 

 stone, collected at this place (Peake). I visited the place, 

 and find that there is no definite bed showing above the surface, 

 but that the stone is largely distributed over a flat down 

 through which a small water-course runs, and which has in 

 places laid bare small surfaces of the rock." — (Com. by J. 

 Chandler) . 



Avicula Corbiensis (?) — In three much worn valves, " got close 

 to Lake Eyre on this run, on the surface in company with flints, 

 pebbles, and some rough agates." — (Com. by J. Canham). 



Miocene Fossils. 



A paper on " Fossil Chilostomatous Bryozoa from Victoria," 

 by Mr. A. AV. Waters, F.G.S. (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. 

 37, August 1, 1881), is a valuable contribution to Australian 

 Tertiary Palaeontology, seventy-two species are described, and 

 most of them figured. As the result of direct comparison, 

 tweniy-three of the species occur in the Mount Gambler beds, 

 but the number of identical species from Victoria and South 

 Australia will no doubt be increased by a study of the species 

 so abundantly and well preserved in the River Murray Cliffs 

 and at Aldinga.
