Since the publication of my supplement to a Census of the Fauna 
of the Older Tertiary of Australia, in the P dings of the Society, 
there have appeared several important contributions to Australian 
Tertiary Paleontology. These are :—Cossmann’s “ Essais Palzo- 
conchologie,” parts i., andii., 1895-6; British Museum Catalogue 
of the Australasian Tertiary Mollusca, part i., by G. F. Harris 
(1897); McGillivray’s “Tertiary Polyzoa of Victoria”;' Part iv., 
“Gastropods of the Older Tertiary of Australia,” by the writer, 
including Naticide, Hipponycide, Calyptrwide, Turritellide and 
Vermetide; also the “QOpisthobranchs” by M. Cossmann;* whilst 
miscellaneous additions to the fauna have been published by 
Howchin, Pritchard, and others. 
M. Cossmann’s ‘“‘Essais,” as concerns Australian Paleontology, 
are classificatory revisions of the families Terebride, Pleurotomide 
and Conide ; and his numerous references to Australian species 
are based on the study of actual specimens. 
Mr. Harris’s “Catalogue,” which is limited to the Gasteropoda, 
Scaphopoda and Lamellibranchiata, is largely a reproduction of 
the diagnoses of species described by McCoy, Tenison- Woods, and 
myself, sometimes amplified and accompanied by well-executed 
illustrations, more particularly of the embryonic shell, which for 
the gasteropods is therein called the protoconch and for the lamelli- 
branchs the prodissoconch. sis dace bem are oe
