Observations. — Frondicularia parri shows considerable variation in 
external form, a character which is also marked in F. woodwardi 
Howchin. This variation is illustrated in the figured specimens. The 
species resembles in costation a form described by Cushman and Waters 
(1928) as Spandelina fissicostata. In both species the costae are 
irregular and anastomosing, a feature especially noticeable in para- 
type ( b ). The costae in the holotype are finer than in S. fissicostata 
and the periphery is rounder. The same variation in shape is apparent 
in both species. F. parri is fairly common in the Kulmura Bore, but 
is rare in the Queensland deposits. The species is named after 
Mr. W. J. Parr of the Victorian Mines Department.

Observations. — Howchin described this species from the Irwin River, 
Western Australia, Numerous specimens are present in the Permian 
deposits of Queensland and New South Wales. The Queensland 
specimens are well developed. The figured ones are from the Springsure 
area, and illustrate the variability of the species. Lengths of plesiotypes :
