Department of Mines, 
Sydney, 18th October, 1909. 
Sir. 
T have the honour to submit for publication Part II of Volume II 
of the Monograph (No. 5 of the Palaeontological Series) on the “ Carhoniferous 
and Thermo- Carhoniferous Invertehrata,'" by Mr. Robert Etheridge, J.P., 
Curator of the Australian Museum, and Mr. W. S. Dun, Palaeontologist to 
the Geological Survey Branch of this Department. 
This Part of Volume II deals with Eufydesma, a genus which, so far 
as we know, is, with one exception, confined to the Lower Marine Series. It 
is interesting to note that certain points of resemblance indicate alliance 
between Eurydesma and Maccoyella (the characteristic genus of the CretUceous 
Period) as well as Meleayrina — the recent Pearl Oyster. 
I have the honour to be. 
Sir, 
Your obedient servant, 
EDWARD F. PITTMAN, 
Government Geologist. 
The Honourable W". H. "Wood, Esq., M.P. 
Minister for Mines.
