locality. Five species are figured and described. Additional species are 

 made known by Etheridge in a paper " On some species of Terebra- 

 tulina, Waldheimia, and Terebratella from Mount Gambier and the 

 Murray Cliffs. (Annals and Mag. of Nat. Hist., 1876, 2 pi.) This 

 paper gives descriptions of five species of fossil palliobranchs, which are 

 illustrated by well executed drawings contained in two lithographic 

 plates. Two species are decidedly new, Terebratulina Davidsoni, and 

 Waldheimia Taylori, but a third species described as new under the 

 name of W. Gambierensis is identical with W. grandis, Woods. The 

 other species illustrated are W. Garibaldina, Davidson, and Terebratella 

 compta, Sow. The Rev. J. E. Tenison Woods describes and figures some 

 Australian tertiary brachiopods (Trans. Roy. Soc. N. S. Wales, 1877), 

 and notes the occurrence of two of them in the South Australian 

 deposits. In a paper which I have prepared the S. Australian fossil 

 species, twenty-two in number, are treated in a monographic form. 



The echinodermal fauna of the Australian tertiary rocks is one of 

 remarkable interest, and has received attention from not a few paleon- 

 tologists. The Rev. J. E. Tenison Woods figured and described three 

 species of sea urchins from Mount Gambier in the transactions of this 

 Society, published in 1866 ; one of the species had been previously made 

 known. The next contribution to the subject was by Dr. Laube, 

 (t) " Ueber einige fossile Echiniden von den Murray Cliffs in Sud 

 Australien" (Sitz. d. k., Akad. d. Wissench, Wien, 1869), who describes 

 and figures as new eight species, but two of these had been made, 

 known by Mr. Woods. Next R. Etheridge, jun., in Quart. Journ, 

 Geol. Soc, 1875, gives a resume of all that had been published on the 

 S. Australian fossil tertiary echinoderms, but overlooked the important 

 communication thereon made to this Society by Mr. Woods, and by 

 means of drawings illustrates certain detailed characters which were not 

 noted by Laube. Dr. Duncan, in the same Society's journal for 1877 

 describes eleven new species from the Australian tertiary deposits, and 

 identifies three living species as met with in a fossil state ; four species 

 are added to the local list. Collections made by me among our older 

 tertiaries contain most of the species described by Duncan from localities 

 beyond this province. 



The last addition is Salenia Tertiaria, Tate, described and figured in 

 the Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc, 1877. This beautiful fossil is the subject 

 of some lengthy remarks by Prof. Dr. Duncan in his anniversary address 

 read bafore the Geological Society of London, February 17, 1878, and in
