Baiera and Ginkgo■ (“ Salisburia which are forms similar to those of the 
Gippsland coal-measures; whilst such types as HI acrotceniopteris , Phoeni- 
c op sis (“ Z ou go p hylli tes ”) and Pterophyllum, tend to show a lower 
horizon, presumably Triassic. A complete revision of the Tasmanian 
Mesozoic flora is very much needed, and would undoubtedly throw direct 
light upon their relationship to the Victorian coal-measures, which are of 
approximately similar age. 
Mr. R. M. Johnston, 1 in Further Contributions to the Fossil Flora of 
Tasmania, has pointed out the probable sequence of these beds as shown 
in the occurrence of “ Zeugophylliies ” (. Phcenicopsis ) elongatus in the Ida 
Bay coal-measures; strata, which, as that author remarks, probably “ supply 
an important link in the chain of plant life, connecting the close of the 
Permo-Carboniferous period with the beginnings of the Mesozoic period/ 7 
The Jurassic flora of the Tasmanian localities, Jerusalem, Fingal, 
Spring Hill. York Plain, Hamilton. Richmond, New Town, Sandfly, 
Recherche, South Cape, Longford, &c., appears to contain an assemblage 
which, with some few exceptions, as Sagenopteris and Phcenicopsis, is 
practically identical with that of the plant-bearing strata of Jurassic age 
in S. Gippsland, Cape Otway, and Western Victoria 
PRELIMINARY NOTE ON THE FOSSILIFEROUS ROCKS OF 
LIMESTONE CREEK, N.E. VICTORIA. 
By Fredk. Chapman, A.L.S., &c., Palceontologist to the National 
Museum, Melbourne . 
The collection of specimens submitted consists of grey shelly limestone, 
black fetid limestone and dark, iron-stained indurated shale. The fossil 
contents show these rocks to be of Middle Devonian age, and comparable 
with the Buchan limestones and Tabberabbera shales. Corals and 
brachiopods are abundant, with occasional crinoid remains. Favosites 
and Spirifer are among the most common genera met with.
