The present occurrence of C. gregorii is newly recorded for this State. 
The coral is very variable in size and habit, and was apparently greatly 
influenced during growth by the nature of the surroundings; for the impure, 
muddy limestone of Bindi yields a small stunted variety, whilst the purer 
limestones of Buchan contain well-developed forms, more comparable with 
the original specimens described by Mr. Etheridge, from Queensland. The 
Victorian examples usually measure up to 2 inches in length, but one speci¬ 
men measures 2§ in. The Queensland specimens described by Etheridge 
attain a length of 2J- inches. 
The enlarged sections now figured are from specimens obtained at 
Bindi, in the National Museum collection. In the vertical section it will 
be noticed that the cup in the earlier stage of the growing coral became 
partially filled with fine organic mud, which was entrapped by the subse¬ 
quent rejuvescent growth of the coral from the midst of the calyx. Numer¬ 
ous instances of this mode of calicinal gemmation are to be found in the 
Buchan limestone of this series. The limestone of Bindi here referred to 
contain numerous ostracoda in the dark calcareous matrix j and to the 
presence of these organisms, no doubt, the pungent odour of the rock when 
struck is due.

This variety is distinguished by Mr. Etheridge from F. gothlandica 
in having smaller and more uniformly-sized corallites. Also in the uniserial 
arrangements of mural pores, and the more closely-set tabulae. 
It is interesting to find in the Buchan limestones two forms of the 
genus Favosites which were originally described by Mr. Etheridge from 
the Moonbi limestone of X T ew South Wales. Moreover, this evidence 
helps to correlate that horizon with the Middle Devonian of the 
Gippsland area; especially since Mr. Etheridge remarks about the Moonbi 
limestone fossils as follows (op. cit., p. 182):—“ With regard to the 3rd 
localitv little or nothing is known about its stratigraphical position, but I 
am inclined to beiieve that it will be found to be somewhat older than the 
Woolomol and Moore Creek limestones.” A doubtful occurrence of this: 
form in older beds in Victoria at Thomson River is recorded elsewhere in 
this publication. (See p. 80.)
