In a similar manner the Devonian species also appear 

 referable to two horizons — an upper, probabl}^ equivalent to 

 the upper Devonian, and vi^ithout corals, so far as the speci- 

 mens in Professor De Koninck's hands showed ; and a second 

 somewhat below the higher, but above that which in Europe 

 is so well characterised by the presence of Calceola sand- 

 alina (Lamarck). The latter of the two divisions contains 

 the black limestone of the Yass district.! The corals 

 recorded and described by Professor De Koninck are : — 



Phillipsastrea Yerneuilii, Edtvards and Haime. 

 Campophyllum flexuosum, Goldfuss. 

 Cyathophyllum vermiculare „ 



„ obtortum, Edwards and Haime. 



„ Damnoniense, Lonsdale. 



„ helianthoides, GoMfuss. 



Amplexus Selwyni, De Koninck. 

 Ccenites expansus, De Koninck. 

 Billingsia alvcolaris, De Koninck. 

 Syringopora auloporoides, De Koninck. 

 Alveolites obscurus, De Koninck. 



„ subsequalis, Edwards and Haime. 

 Favosites Goldfussi, UOrhigny. 

 basaltica, Goldfuss. 

 alveolaris „ 

 polymorph a „ 

 reticulata, Blainville. 

 fibrosa, Goldfuss. 

 Heliolites porosa „ 



Since the publication of the foregoing account of the 

 lower and middle palseozoic fossils of New South Wales, 

 Professor De Koninck has been engaged in the examination 

 of the fossils of carboniferous age, contained in the Rev. 

 Mr. Clarke's cabinet. The descriptions of these are now in 

 course of printing, and Professor De Koninck has in the 

 kindest manner forwarded me the advanced sheets. As his 

 memoir will appear before these remarks reach the Royal 

 Society, I feel that I am committing no breach of professional 

 etiquette in stating that on the whole the carboniferous 

 fossils of New South Wales correspond in a very consider- 

 able degree with the facies of the carboniferous limestone
