This species is represented by a few very characteristic examples. 

 Locality. — Bough Bange, opposite Hull Kange, Kimberley District. 



CEPHALOPODA. 



Orthocekas, sp. PI. IY. Fig. 3. 



The specimen presents a natural section on the weathered surface 

 of a mass of limestone ; it is a slowly tapering fragment of the 

 septate portion of the shell 3^ inches long. The septa are 

 moderately concave, and from 2 to 2-| lines distant from each other 

 at the broader extremity of the specimen, whei*e it has a diameter 

 of 5 lines, the narrower end measuring only 1 line in diameter. 

 Nothing of the siphuncle is seen. 



It would not be possible to give any indication of the specific 

 affinities of such an imperfect fragment. 



Locality. — Mt. Pierre, near the Fitzroy Eiver, Kimberley District. 



Goniatites, sp. Plate V. Fig. 4. 



Three or four broken fragments are contained in the Collection, 

 in such a condition as to make it impossible to do more than hazard 

 a conjecture as to their affinities. They appear to be of the type of 

 G. rotatorius, de Koninck (Descrip. des Anim. Foss. de Belgique, 

 1844, p. 565, pi. li. figs, la, 16), judging by their lenticular form, 

 with almost closed umbilicus and close-set sutures, sharply bent 

 forward near the periphery. 



Locality. — Mt. Pierre, near the Fitzroy River, Kimberley District. 



Goniatites, sp. Plate V. Fig. 5. 



This specimen is seen only in a polished section. It is too 

 obscure for specific identity. 



Locality. — Mt. Pierre, near the Fitzroy Eiver, Kimberley District.

Mr. E. Kidston, F.E.S.E., F.G.S., who has kindly examined the 

 plant-remains, sends the following brief notes upon them: — "The 

 specimens are all very badly preserved, but the Collection contains 

 fragments of Lepidodendron (Figs. 4, 4a), mostly reduced to the 

 "■Knorria condition" 2 ; Stigmaria (Fig. 5), rachis of ferns (?), (Figs. 



1 "Report on the Geology of the Kimberley District," 1885, p. 25. 



2 Mr. Kidston rejects K)iorria, and says that " the plants for which it was formed 

 are merely imperfectly preserved examples of Lepidodendron, and perhaps also 

 individuals of other genera." See Cat. Palaeozoic Plants in Depart, of Geol. and 

 Palaeout., British Museum (A T at. Hist.), by R. Kidston, F.G.S., 1886, pp. 167, 174.
