Obs. Mr. Eands notes * the presence of “numerous casts of Eelemnites" in the 
Maryborough Desert Sandstone in a quarry “ just a couple of hundred yards on the 
Maryborough side of the Copenhagen Bend ” of the Mary River. I have not seen any 
of these casts, but Prof. T. W. E. David obtained a portion of the highly altered rock 
at the Corporation Quarry, Maryborough, with an elongated cavity, which may be either 
that left by the decomposition of a Eelemnite or a Eentalium. 
Another .specimen in Mr. Sweet’s Collection is an elongated hollow, in the proximal 
end of which reposes a portion of a phragmacone. The distal extremity bears two 
lateral ridges indicating the lateral grooves, and the distal outline gradually swells out 
with an oval section resulting in a form much resembling Eelemnites Canhami, Tate, to 
which it is probably allied, although the apex of the guard is too pointed to be that 
species.
