referring the Echinolampas to E. Gamhierensis and the 

 Micr aster to M. Archeri, T. -Woods (Hemiaster). 



1875. R. Etheridge, jun., "Quarterly Journal Geological Society," 



vol. XXXI., p. 444 et seq., gives a list of the Tertiary 

 Echinodermata of Australia, describes Hemipatagus 

 Woodsii, n. sp., and illustrates some details of structure 

 in respect of Fsammechijius Woodsii and Micraster 

 hrevistella not shown in Laube's drawings. 



1876. Prof. Duncan, " Quarterly Journal Geological Society," 



vol. XXXIII., describes Lelocidaris australi(S, Tenine- 

 cliinus lineatus, Arachnoides Loveni, A. elongatus, 

 Rhynchopygus dysasteroides, Echinobrissus australice, 

 Holaster oustrcdice, Maretia anomala, Enpatagus 

 rotundus, E. Laidiei, and Megalaster comp>ressus as new 

 species, Megalaster as a new genus. In addition there 

 are " Supplementary Xotes" on previously-described 

 species, and the following exoteric species are recorded : — 

 [ Pygorhynchus Vassali, Wright ; Schizaster veiitricosus, 

 Gray ; Echinarchnius parma, Gray ; Ecliinanthus testu- 

 di7iarms, Gray. 



1877. Prof. Tate, " Quarterly Journal Geological Society," vol. 



XXXIIL, p. 257, fig. 2, describes Scdenia tertiaria, 

 n. sp., from Aldinga Clifis, and records 15 genera addi- 

 tional to the echinodermal fauna of the Australian 

 Tertiary. 



1877. R. M. Johnston, '• Proc. Roy. Soc, Tasmania," p. 116, 

 records from the Eocene of Table Cape, Tasmania, 

 2Iicr aster hrevistella, Laube, Heinipatc gus Woodsii, 

 Etheridge, and Micraster Etheridgei, n. sp. The author 

 says of the last that the dorsal surface is very imper- 

 fectly preserved, but in his "Geol. of Tasmania," p. 231 

 (1888), it appears as Monostychia Etheridgei. It will 

 serve no useful jjurpose to retain Mr. Johnston's species, 

 as it is insufficiently diagnosed to permit of a safe 

 generic interpretation, and the absence of a figure makes 

 its attachment to known species a most hazardous 

 venture. 



1879. Prof. McCoy, " Prodromus Pah^^ontology of Victoria," 

 Decade VI., figures and describes Locenia Forhesi and 

 Monostychia ausfralis. 



1882. Prof. McCoy, " Prodr. Pal. Victoria," Dec. A^IL, figures 

 three new species of Fericosmus, and believes that 

 Megalaster compressus may be the same as liis F. com- 

 presfiux, on wliich the fascioles have been obliterated. 



1884. Prof. Tate, "Trans. Roy. Soc, S. Aust.," pp. 37 et 41, 

 gives a list of the Echinodermata of the River Murray
