[ Abstract. ] 
Tue author referred to the observations of Professor M‘Coy and

obtained from that region. Fossils of Mesozoie type occur both in 
Western Australia, in the centre of the Continent on Stuart’s 
route, and in Queensland; but the specimens have hitherto been 
found in apparently drifted blocks, and nothing is known of the 
bedded rocks from which they are derived. The author stated that 
the Australian Mesozoic fossils agree, not only in genera, but also 
in many cases in species, with British forms ; and he gave a list of 
species from Western Australia, identical with British species from 
the Middle and Upper Lias, the Inferior Oolite, and the Cornbrash. 
Of the fossils from Queensland also, many are said to be identical 
with, or very nearly allied to, British species ; but the author regards
