The specimens discussed in this note were collected by 

 Mr. Hill, and brought under my notice by Mr. 0. A. 

 Siissmilch, f.g.s., Lecturer in (Je.flogy, Teehnieal College, 

 Sydney. As is well known, the Bulli or Upper Coal 

 Measures of Permo-CarhoniiVrous a ge under Sydney are 

 • >\«>rl;titi by the shales, sandstones, and grits of the Narra- 

 been stage of Triassic age, and it lias been the custom to 

 consider the Bulli (Wallarah) Coal Seam as the closing phase 

 of Permo-Carboniferous sedimentation and the last appear- 

 ance of the Glossopteris Flora.
