Murray cliffs is by Captain Stiirt, who collected on his voyage 

 down tlie river, some o£ wliicli are figured in the account of 

 Ms exploration.* In an appendix, pp. 253 and 254, the author 

 gives a list of the fossils collected from this formation, em- 

 bracing Polyzoa, 8 ; Echinoderms, 3 ; Lamellibranchs, 16 ; 

 Palliobranch, 1 ; Gastropods, 14. Most of those of the first 

 three classes are referred to by specific names employed for 

 European tertiary fossils. Of those figured a shrewd guess- 

 can be made at the species referred to, but in no case can 

 Captain Sturt's determination be accepted. 



As giving a better insight into the present state of our 

 knowledge of the palaeontology of the formation, I arrange the 

 subject matter of this progress report according to zoological 

 classification. 



CLASS MAMMALIA.
