(Coleoptera), Dragon-flies (Odonata), Locusts (Orthoptera), 
Prawns, Lobsters, and Crabs (Decapoda), King Crabs and 
Sea-Scorpions (Merostomata), Barnacles (Cirripedia), and 
Trilobites. An Ant, Formica lignitum, is here exhibited, 
beautifully preserved in Eocene clay ; whilst a Fly, Musca 
liihophila , and a Beetle, Chrysobothrus veterana , are seen 
embedded in Upper Jurassic marlstone. 
Mollusca. 
Amongst the shell-fish we may notice the Cephalopoda 
or Cuttle-fishes, as Nautilus, Orthoceras, and Ammonites. 
The delicate Cosmoceras, a pearly Ammonite from Wiltshire, 
should be noted ; also the showy median slices of other 
Ammonites, as Parkinsonia and Aegoceras. 
Of the Gasteropods, Cerithium giganteum , from the 
Tertiary of the Paris Basin, is a conspicuous object, the shell 
measuring fifteen inches in length. 
Other specimens shown here include various Corals 
(“ madreporites ”), Sponges (“ Ventriculites ”), and Worms. 
Plant Fossils. 
A selected series of plant-remains is placed in the end of 
this Wall-case. The specimens range from fossil Sea-weed, 
through Mosses, Horse-tails, Club-mosses, Ferns, Fern-palms, 
Conifers, and Flowering Plants. 
The Table-cases of Foreign Fossils (numbered from 
101 to 120) contain fossils from extra-Australasian localities, 
as Europe, North America, India, &c., and range in age from 
Pliocene to Cambrian. 
The faunas of the White and Red Crag of Suffolk are 
well represented. Amongst these fossils may be 
noted an encrusting Hydroid, Hydractinia ; the 
large boulder-like limy skeleton or zoarium of a 
Polyzoan, Thenoa ; a reversed AVhelk, Chrysodomus ; 
and a tympanic bone of a Whale, Balaenodon. 
Comprise Miocene fossils, many of which are of the same 
generic type as those found round Geelong and 
Bairnsdale. Here are the curious Sea-urchin, 
Clypeaster umbrella ; Spondylus gaederopus 
(very like the Victorian species. S. ga.ederopoide s) ; 
and a fine series of Sharks’ teeth and compressed 
remains of the Toothed Carp, Prolebias.
