Lithostrotion and Syringopora are well represented at 

 Stanwell. The Training Wall Quarries at Rockhamptou are 

 in rock probably of Burindi age. Part, at any rate of the 

 Drummond Range marine fauna of Queensland also probably 

 belongs to Burindi times. 



It is doubtful whether the Burindi Series is represented 

 elsewhere in Australia, though in the "Carboniferous" (or 

 Permo-Oarboniferous) Beds of the Irwin River area in West 

 Australia there are no less than 17 species identical with 

 those found in the Burindi Series, but, as shown later in 

 this paper, the Irwin River strata are distinctly newer than 

 Burindi in age, as 9 species out of 108 recorded are also 

 found in the Productus Limestone (Permian) of the Salt 

 Range of India.

(i) Queensland. — This great series of fluvio-glacial con- 

 glomerates, tuffs, and lavas with Aneimites (Rhacopteris) 

 by far its most abundant and characteristic fossil, is prob- 

 ably represented in Queensland by the coarse basal con- 

 glomerates underlying the Bowen River Coal-field, and 

 by the Aneimites Beds near Herberton and in the Drum- 

 mond Range. At the latter area, at Mount Budge Messrs. 

 R. L. Jack and R. Etheridge, Junr. 1 have described the 

 form Aneimites austrina. The Drummond Range beds are 

 considered to belong to the Star Series. The Star strata 

 of Queensland in their lower portion containing Lepido- 

 dendron australe, probably were contemporaneous with 

 some part of the Burindi series and in their upper portion 

 with the Kuttung? They contain a good deal of coarse 

 conglomerate, but so far no trace of glacial striae has been 

 observed on the pebbles. Professor H. O. Richards of
