probably the same species. Unfortunately, some of tbe connecting joints of the arms 
have been waslied out, though the impressions are left indicating their direction, 
(il/bore.) 
The presence of Pentacrinoid remains in the Wollumbilla blocks was first 
pointed out by Prof. McCoy,* in a collection from that locality, submitted to him by 
the late llev. W. B. Clarke. 
My late friend, Dr. P. H. Carpenter, was kind enough to review this species, in 
company with M. de Loriol. It became a question whether it really is a Penfacrinus, or 
only one of the Coinatulie. Dr. Carpenter wrote : “ We both agree that the form had 
better retain its generic name Pentacrinus till something more is known about it. He 
[M. de Loriol] is struck, as I am, by the absence of any reference to stem fragments in 
the two blocks containing the specimens; and we both feel it to be quite possible that 
they are Comatuhv. In any case there is a much larger number of joints (distichals) 
before the first axillary of the arms than in any recent Comatulsc, which never have more 
than four distichals, whilst there must have been fourteen or fifteen in P. australis. I 
do not know of any recent Pentacrinus with more than seven, though it may run to 
seventeen in the fossil species, and to twelve in Extraerinus, and in the recent Ilctacrinus. 
But it certainly belongs to neither of the latter genera.”

Ohs. The presence of Crustacea in the Upper Mesozoic rocks of Queensland is 
at present not definitely recorded. The only evidence of their existence lies in the 
following passage by Mr. Moore f: — 
“ When the tests of the Australian shells are occasionally broken, or casts only 
are preserved, it may be often noticed that the interiors were covered by Polyzoa, 
Serpula?, and other parasitic animals. On the interior of Panopisa are two disk-like 
impressions with fimbriated radiating surfaces ; and it was difficult to decide w'hether 
they might not be flattened corals, or even Cranioe. On consulting my friend, Mr. 
Etheridge,! respecting them, he suggested that they might be the places of attachment
