(66.) 1886. Wilkinson (€. S.) Communication about the Discovery of a Labyrinthodcnt 
Amphibian in the Hawkesbury Rocks. 
In a letter dated 29tli September, 18SG, Mr. C. S. Wilkinson informed 
me about the discovery of important Amphibian remains in the Hawkesbury 
rocks, which decided their Triassic age. A notice on the same subject 
was also contained in a Report to the Under Secretary for Mines, hy Mr. 
C. S. Wilkinson, Government Geologist. The Report was as follows : — 
“Department of Mines, Geological Survey Branch, 10th September, 1SSG. 
Memorandum : A few weeks ago Mr. J. H. Maiden forwarded me a large 
fossil shell of the genus JPlanorbis , that had been found in the excavation 
for the new Government docks at Cockatoo Island. This being the first 
fossil shell found in the Hawkesbury formation, I took the opportunity of 
examining the rocks with Mr. L. Samuel, who is constructing the docks, 
and only obtained some fossil plants. But as the rocks looked very pro- 
mising for the occurrence of fossil remains, I sent the collector, Mr. Cullen, 
to make further search, and he was rewarded by the discovery of a most 
interesting fossil, which Professor W. J. Stephens has identified as Mastodon- 
saurus, of which a similar specimen, from Stuttgart, is in the collection 
of the Sydney University. This being the first discovery in Australia of 
the Labtjrintliodon, a gigantic amphibian, is of much scientific importance, 
as proving the Triassic age of the Hawkesbury Sandstone formation. —
