where the reticulation becomes of a more open nature, the zigzag appearance given to 
the corallites by freqnent diehotomization becomes very apparent. There are no septa 
visible in this example. (^Nicholson and Etheridge Jil.)

Ohs. The habit of growth of a second species from a different locality resembles 
the Eifelian coral Aulopora spioata, Goldfuss.* Its general aspect is that of the genus 
Vermipora, Hall, a likeness which is strengthened by the fact that Prof. H. A. 
Nicholson f has suggested the reference of A. spicata to this genus. One specimen 
appears to possess mural pores, a character which, if present, would assist in setting the 
question at rest. 
Another specimen from the same locality ramifies around a rugose coral, and is 
surrounded by a Stromatoporoid. Microscopic sections of this specimen display nothing 
more than the ordinary auloporoid structure. It possesses the habit of Syringopora 
auloporoides, De Kon.,J but is much smaller, and appears to be a true Aulopora.

Of the Palajocrinoidea from Queensland localities, none have yet been brought 
under my notice. I can only record that Mr. Jack reports that Encrinites are of 
common occui’rence in shales interstratified with the limestone beds of the Broken 
River. Mr. Jack informs mo that the Encrinites were unmistakable ; but as he was 
aware that their state of preservation would not permit of specific determination, he 
did not, considering the difficulties of transit, bring away any specimens.
