Lepidodendron veltheimianum, Stbg. ; Bornia radiata ( Calamities radiatus), 
Bgt.; Ccdamites various, Germ. As far as I could understand, these fossils came 
from strata below the Lower Coal Measures. From the Silurian beds an 
alga, Spiropliyton cauda-phcisiani, Kon., is mentioned. 
Prof, de Koninck, whose knowledge of Palaeozoic, especially of Carbon- 
iferous fossils, is unsurpassed, assigns to the greatest portion of the fossils of 
the marine beds below the Newcastle coal beds an Upper Carboniferous age. 
This agrees very well with the age of the Lepidodendron beds below the 
lower marines, which are, as will still be shown later on, of Lower Carbon- 
iferous age, while the Newcastle beds themselves turn out naturally Permian.

The above work contains descriptions and illustrations of plant fossils, 
which were sent to me by the late B-ev. W. B. Clarke in 1876 and 1878, sup- 
plemented by some fossils which Mr. C. 8. Wilkinson, Government Geologist, 
placed at my disposal. 
Both gentlemen made, also, various communications to me regarding 
the fossils and the strati graphical relations connected with them, which I 
have, to a great extent, made use of in my w ritings. 
I would point, especially, to the circumstance that, in the first part, 
the Lepidodendron beds (Port Stephens, Smith’s Creek, Stroud) were wrongly 
placed above the Lower Marine Series while they belong below ; in the 
second part (1879) the sequence of strata, in the table on pp. 190-191, are on 
the w hole correct. At the same time I must draw attention to the many, 
sometimes rather serious, misprints, which were occasioned by my not being 
able to correct the proofs myself, because the work w T as printed in Germany 
while I w r as in India.

The above fossil is supposed to be from the Hawkesbury rocks of- 
Green Bush Quarry, on the Kissing Point Boad, near Parramatta, and is 
placed in the Hydrocharidete.
