Sp. Olmr. Valres broadly subovate, hardly convex ; dorsal margin straight, 
about half the length of the Takes, terminated at the anterior end by the umbones ; 
anterior, posterior, and ventral margins fully and broadly rounded, the anterior shorter 
than the posterior, rendering the valves narrower at the former of the two ends ; 
umbones depressed ; ridges twelve in number, but probably two or three more exist on 
each umbo, strong and well marked; interspaces wide, depressed, or perhaps very 
slightly concave, especially towards the ventral portion of the valves ; reticulation not 
preserved. Length, about throe-sixteenths of an inch. 
Ohs. This little fossil, the first Eslleria found in the Secondary rocks of Queens- 
land, appertains to the group represented by such species as JJ. mangaliensis, E. 
Eorhesi, &c., and, in fact is so very close to the former in its general features, that I feel 
constrained to consider it as identical, notwithstanding the absence of the reticulated 
surface in our fossil. It is particularly like Prof. Jones’ PI. 2, fig. 16. 
The Indian specimens are from the Mangali Beds of the Damuda Series, and the 
occurrence of the species in the Ipswich Beds is but another link in the chain of 
evidence uniting the great Secondary Coal-bearing Series of India with those of 
Australia. 
The specimen was obtained, with a magnificent collection of Mesozoic plants, by 
Mr. .1. II. Simmonds from the Ipswich Beds.
