Ohs. We are acquainted with a shell posse.ssing the general outline of this 
species, hut only in the form of casts, from the Corner Creek Beds. The spire was 
small, the body-whorl large and ample, and the ornament consisted of strong striae 
in and emerging from the suture, as in the above species. On the other hand, the spire, 
although small, was, perhaps, rather too large for N. variata, and it has therefore been 
thought advisable to give this determination with a note of interrogation.

Naticopsis, sp. ind. 
[Compare N. elongata., Phill., toe. eit., t. 14, f. 28.] 
Ohs. A single cast obtained from the same beds by Mr. P. W. Pears resembles 
dPatioopsis elongata, Phill., in obliquity and general appearance, although a subangula- 
tion of the body-whorl will probably separate the two forms. It likewise has rather 
the appearance of some Platyostomce, but is devoid of the reflected and sinuous lips of 
those shells. It is difficult to say how far distortion might alter the outline of the 
shells previously compared to Natieopsis variata, but hardly to such an extent as to 
merge the two forms under consideration into one.

(Pal. Poss. Devon., p. 98.) 
Ohs. A crushed example of a Loxonema (PI. 15, fig. 17), of a type common in 
Carboniferous rocks was communicated by the late Mr. James Smith. The whorls are 
ribbed with many longitudinal, slightly bent ridges or cost®. There are traces of ten 
faintly convex whorls. The shell is of the type of Loxonenia rugifera, Phill.

Genus — EUOMPHALUS, J. Soiverhy, 1814.* 
(Min. Con., p. 97.) 
Ohs. The presence of this genus in the Permo-Carboniferous of Queensland is 
placed beyond doubt by the occurrence of a few indifferently preserved casts in the 
Stanwell Beds. None are sufficiently well preserved for specific description, but two 
Undoubtedly indicate the genus as now restricted and typified by Euomphalus pentangu- 
iatus. The best of these has a diameter of one inch, the under surface round, and the 
Bpper supporting a sharp prominent keel ; in fact the whole appearance of the shell is 
■'■ery much that of the species named. 
In the Star River Beds a number of small Euomphaloid shells (PI. 14, fag. 21) 
are met with. The test has entirely disappeared, and the specimens have undergone so 
^nch decay that it is with difficulty they can be assigned to any particular genus, 
^heir place will probably be found with the present one.
