Kellaways Fauna in Baluchistan.—A monograph prepared 
by Dr. Noetling, and the Geological Survey of India, deals with the 
fauna of Kellaways from Mazár Drik, Baluchistan. The specimens 
which have unfortunately suffered more or less from deformation by 
pressure, have been carefully compared with the type specimens from 
the Jurassic beds of Kutch, which were worked out by Professor 
Waagen, and the following determinations have been made: 
There are in all 22 species, of which 17 are determined specifically, 
while of 5 only the genus could be determined. Of the 17 forms identi- 
fied 16 have already been described, while one form, Perisphinctes 
baluchistanensis is recognized as new. 
The 22 species represent the following classes: Brachiopoda 2, Pele- 
cypoda 3, Gastropoda 1, Cephalopoda 16. The character and distri- 
bution of these fossils indicates that the Polyphemus limestonein which 
they were found is the representative of the Macrocephalus beds of 
Kutch, and is homotoxial with the lower Kellaways beds of Europe. 
Six page plates of lithographed drawings illustrate the work. 
Fauna of the Wombeyan Caves, N. S. W.—At a recent 
meeting of the Natural History of Glasgow, Dr. Brown exhibited the 
following series of fossils from the bone breccia deposit which he had 
discovered recently in the neighborhood of the Wombeyan Caves in 
New South Wales: 
1. Two almost perfect jaws of Burramys parvus Broom, a Diprotodont 
marsupial, chiefly characterized by its large grooved premolars. It is 
regarded by Dr. Broom as being intermediate between the Phalangers 
and the Macropodids. There is reason to believe that Burramys is the 
nearest known relative to the extinct pouched lion Thylocoleo carnifex. 
Owen. 
2. Two lower jaws and a specimen exhibiting the almost complete 
_ Maxillary teeth of Paleopelaurus elegans Broom, a small Diprotodont 
believed to be intermediate between Petaurus and Gymnobelidens, and 
probably the ancestor of both. 
3. Premolars and molars of Pseudochirus antiquus Broom, an extinct 
Ring-tailed Phalanger. 
4. Lower jaw of Dromecia nana (Desm.), the small Tasmanian 
Dormouse-Phalanger. 
5. Lower and upper jaws of Phascologale flavipes Waterh, the exist- 
ing yellow-footed pouched mouse. 
6. Lower jaw of Phasacologale penicillata (Shaw), the existing 
Brush-tailed Pouched Mouse. (Proceeds. Nat. Hist. Soc., Glasgow,
