Ols. The Eev. Author of this species placed it in the Ophioglossaeesc, under the 
name of Jeanpaulia, following Schimper ; but I prefer to adopt the more recent views of 
Dr. A. Schenk. 
Mr. Woods remarks that his species differs from the European Ehaetic 
-B. Miinsteriana,\\\ the brevity, widening, and bifurcation of the segments.

Sp. Char. Shell ovate, suh-trigonal, length and height nearly equal, hut the 
former rather the greater, tumid, thick and strong. Anterior and posterior margins 
rounded, the former the more broadly so of the two. ITinge-line, or cardinal margin 
niuch arched, especially on the posterior side, but the anterior more abruptly so. 
Ventral margin regularly and evenly rounded. Posterior end, when the valves are in 
apposition, wide and broad, giving rise to a rounded posterior slope on each valve. 
Concentric lines of growth strong and well marked, the surface being in addition much 
wrmklcd. 
Ohs. I believe this is the first recognition of this genus in Australian Secondary 
beds. The species presents a close resemblance to G. cytheriformis, Meek, from the 
Bad Lands of the Judith liiver, Upper Missouri, so much so that the above diagnosis has 
been worded so as to express the difference between them. The Australian species is, 
however, apparently wider in proportion to its height, and the beaks more anteriorly 
recurved. As well as this, the shell probably possessed a more expressed posterior 
slope in each valve. 
G. hurrumensis attained a fairly large size. The discoveiy of Mollusea in the 
Burrmn Coal Series is of importance, for only jfiant remains have hitherto been recorded.
