In his notes on Erian Plants, Professor Penhallow regards Haiiserites 
and Psilophyton as of distinct generic position; the former having a mem¬ 
branaceous frond, the latter a scaly stem. Mr. Carruthers’ paper on this 
subject gives sufficient proof that they are one and the same plant; but 
no reference to this paper is made by Prof. Penhallow. 
The Victorian specimens are represented chiefly by long, straight, or 
slightly curved stems or stalks with a midrib; or by shorter curved frag¬ 
ments, often with a longitudinally lineate surface. There are also occa¬ 
sional, well-preserved examples, which show sporangia attached to the 
stems or branchlets, and also circinate terminations to the latter. 
The genus is better known from the Devonian formation of Canada 
(Dawson, Penhallow), and Scotland (Miller, Jack, Etheridge, jun., Peach, 
Salter, Carruthers), but has also been recorded (as Psilophyton robustius) 
from the Silurian of Canada by Dr. W. Dawson. 
Occurrence. —Examples of the above genus, many referable without 
doubt to Goppert’s species, are here recorded from the Centennial Mine, 
Walhalla; Perkin’s Creek and Goulburn River, Wood’s Point; Matlock 
Road, near Big Comet Shaft, Wood’s Point; Halford’s House Hill, 
Kongwak, near Jumbunna; and Thomson River (Monograptus dubius 
beds).

Should the occurrence of this variety in beds of undoubted Yeringian 
age be confirmed, it will denote an older range than was supposed, although 
Mr. Etheridge concluded that the Moonbi Limestone of New South Wales 
was older than the Moore Creek and Woolomol Limestones. Specimen 
No. 405 is a replacement in limonite. The corallum is massive, and appa¬ 
rently of depressed tabular form. The walls of the conallites are shown 
as a honeycomb replacement, and large mural pores are seen, arranged in 
a uniserial manner. The coral lites measure about 1 mm. in diameter.

The Victorian variety differs from the species described by McCoy in 
the greater number of rings to a given length, and in the discontinuous 
vertical striation, which in our specimen is emphasized on the annuli, 
imparting to the rings a subnodulose character. The number of rings at
