106 History of Palaeozoic Actinology in Australia. 



One of the most important contributions which has been 

 made to Australian palaeontology of late years is Professor 

 Koninck's " Becherches sur les Fossiles Paleozo'iques de la 

 Noiivelle Galles dii Sud" ^ in which we have a most inter- 

 esting and instructive account of the fossils collected by 

 the Rev. W. B. Clarke, M.A., F.R.S., during his many wan- 

 derings amongst the fossihferous rocks of New South Wales. 

 The fossils in question, as determined by Professor De 

 Koninck, are of two ages — Silurian and Devonian. The 

 Silurian species appear to represent two horizons — the upper 

 Llandovery (May Hill sandstone) and the Ludlow. ^ The 

 corals appertaining to these divisions are : — 



(a.) Uppek Llandovery. 

 Rhyzophyllum (?) interpunctatum, De Koninck. 

 Strombodes diffluens, Ediuards and Haime. 

 Striatopora Australica, De Koninck. 

 Aulopora fasciculata „ 



Syringopora serpens, Linn (?) 

 Monticulipora (?) Bowerbanki, Ediuards and Haime. 



(h.) Ludlow. 

 Ptychophyllum patellatum, D'Orhigny. 

 Cystiphyllum silurieuse, Lonsdale. 

 Omphyma Murchisoni, Edwards and Haime. 

 Cyathophyllum articulatum, Wohlenherg. 

 Halysites escharoides, Lamarck. 

 Monticulipora pulchella, Edwards and Haime. 

 Alveolites repens, Fougt. 



„ rapa, De Koninck. 



Favosites cristata, Blumenhach. 



Forbesi, Edwards and Haime. 



aspera, D'Orhigny. 



multipora, Lonsdale (?). 



fibrosa, Goldfuss. 



Gothlandica, Fougt. 

 Propora tubulata, Lonsdale.
