A. Animalia. — PISCES: — Urosthenes Australis, Dan., a hetero- 

 cercal fish, from the " Upper Coal-measure " (Newcastle beds) in 

 New South Wales. 



Palceoniscus antipodeus, Egert. , Wianamatta beds, N. S. W. ; 

 heterocercal. 



Cleithrolepis granulatus, Eg., Wianamatta and Hawkesbury beds, 

 N. S. W. (not apparently heterocercal). 



Myriolepis Clarlcei, Eg., Hawkesbury beds, N. S. W. (tail not 

 known). 



B. Pi 1 A.KTn.—l.—EQUISETACEA:—Gtemia Phjlloiheca. This 

 genus appears in Australia in the " Lower Coal-measures" (below 

 the first marine Fauna), is most numerous in the Upper Coal- 

 measures (Newcastle beds), and is still found in the Upper 

 Mesozoic beds. 



Otherwise the genus is known in Europe from Jurassic beds only 

 (Italy), in Siberia also from the Jura, and in India from the upper 

 portion of the Coal-beds. 



Pliyllotlieca australis, Brong., Victoria (Upp.Mesoz.) and New South 

 Wales (Upp. Coal-m.). I am not aware whether the form in the 

 Lower Coal-measures belongs to this species also, or to another one. 



Genus Vertebraria, Boyle — a plant of doubtful systematical 

 position — but most probably rhizome and rootlets of an Equisetaceous 

 plant — very likely of Pyllotheca. Known from the Upper Coal- 

 measures (Newcastle beds) in N. S. W., and from the Indian Coal- 

 beds. The species is Vertebraria australis, M'Coy. 



Calamites radiatus, Brong. From the Lower Carboniferous beds, 

 Smith's Creek, near Stroud, N. S. Wales. (Figured by me for the 

 first time.) 



Annularia australis, Fstm. From the Lower Coal-measures at 

 Greta, N. S. Wales. The only form of this genus in Australia. 



Sphenophi/llum sp. Fragmentary specimens from the Lower Car- 

 boniferous at Port Stephens, N. S. Wales. 



2. — FILIGES : — Genus Sphenopteris — six species from the Upper 

 Coal-measures (Newcastle beds) in N. S. Wales (by Morris and 

 M'Coy) : one species from the Devonian in Victoria (Iguana Creek). 



Sphenopteris elongata, Carr. (together with Pecopt. odontopteroides), 

 from the Mesozoic coal-strata in Queensland (Tivoli Mines), and 

 Tasmania (Jerusalem's Basin). 



Aneimites Iguanensis, M'Coy, Devonian, Iguana Creek, Victoria. 



Archo3opteris Howitti, M'Coy, Devonian, Iguana Creek, Victoria. 



Arch. Wilkinsoni, Fstm. Archo3opteris sp., Lower Carboniferous, 

 Smith's Creek (near Stroud), N. S. Wales. 



Genus Bhacopteris was rather numerous in the Lower Carboni- 

 ferous beds. 



Bhacopteris, comp. incequilatera, Gopp., Smith's Creek (Stroud), 

 N. S. Wales. Mr. W. B. Clarke sent also two specimens of M'Coy's 

 Otopteris ovata from Arowa ; but after careful comparison, I arrived 

 at the conclusion that this species is identical with those forms 

 which I refer to the above species, so that the locality Arowa is also 

 to be included amongst the Lower Carboniferous localities.
