492 Br. H. Woodicard — On Fossil Shells, etc., from Sumatra. 



Noggerathiopsis prisca, Fstro., Lower Coal-measures, Greta, New 

 South Wales. 



Nogg. spahdata, Dan., and N. media, Dan., Upper Coal-measures 

 (Newcastle beds), New South Wales. 



Zeugophyllites elongatus, Morr. — At first described by Prof. Morris, 

 from Tasmania, from the doubtful beds, which, however, from the 

 evidence of ThinnfeJdia (Pecopteris) odontopteroides, Morr., sp. 

 (Fstm.), and Sphenopteris elongata, Carr., appear to be Mesozoic. 



Later, also found in New South Wales (in the Upper Coal- 

 measures, Newcastle beds). 



Cordaites australis, M'Coy, Devonian, Iguana Creek, Victoria. 



Zamites {Podoz.) ellipticus, M'Coy, Zam. {Podoz.) Barklyi, M'Coy. 



Zam. longifolius, M'Coy, Upper Mesozoic beds in Victoria. 



CONIFER JE: — Brachjphyllum australe, Fstm. Upper Coal- 

 measures (Newcastle beds), N. S. Wales. 



Cardiocarpum australe, Carr., Upper Mesozoic, Queensland (Tivoli 

 Mines). 



The most important deductions are : 



1. The doubtful strata in Tasmania (Jerusalem's Basin) are, from 

 a palaaontological point of view, equivalent with the Upper (Meso- 

 zoic) Coal-strata in Queensland, consequently also in N. S. Wales 

 and Victoria. 



2. Phyllotlieca, which in Europe and Siberia is Jurassic, appears 

 in Australia already in Palaeozoic beds, and is found still in the 

 Upper Mesozoic beds in Victoria. 



3. Glossopteris appears in Australia in Palaeozoic beds (for the 

 first time with Lower Carboniferous plants), is most frequent in 

 the Upper Coal-measures (Newcastle beds), continues in India and 

 Kussia into Jurassic beds. 



4. Noggerathiopsis begins in Australia in Palaeozoic beds, and has 

 a closely allied representative {Bhiptozamites) in the Jurassic beds 

 in Siberia. 



5. The Lower Carboniferous Flora of Port Stephens and Smith's 

 Creek (Stroud), New South Wales, is of great importance for the 

 knowledge of the geographical distribution of the Lower Carbon- 

 iferous Flora.

(PLATES XII. and XIII.) 



28. Conus, sp. (cast). PI. XII. Fig. 1. 



This cast indicates a subfusiform shell with a somewhat elongated 

 conical spire, but the apex is imperfect : volutions contiguous and 

 convex ; the body- whorl gradually tapering to a somewhat acute 

 base.
