Rock specimen No. 73 shows superficially numerous 
crinoid joints, and a portion of a corallum of 
Favosites gothlandica, Lam. (variety with small 
corallites). 
The microscope slide 1013 shows the presence of the 
following organisms: — 
Favosities gothlandica, Lam. (var. with coral¬ 
lites having a usual diameter of 1 mm., 
and showing the two vertical series of mural 
pores); monticuliporoids (fragments); crinoid 
remains (very abundant); sections of minute 
acicular spines of (?) Palee echinus sp. 
(several, see remarks at end of report); 
polyzoa (fragments); trilobites (sections of 
the carapace numerous); ostracoda frequent, 
including Primitia spp., Bythocypris cf. 
caudalis, Jones, and Bythocypris hollii > 
Jones (see PI. IV., fig. q). 
The fractured rock appears to be full of crinoid 
remains, the cleavage surfaces of the joints im¬ 
parting a crystalline character to the mass. A 
microscope-slide reveals the following organic re¬ 
mains:— Girvanella conferta , sp. nov., one pellet 3 
mm,, in length (PI. VI., figs. 13, 14); (?) Palce- 
echinus sp. (spines); Rhombopora gippslandica, sp. 
nov. (PI. II., fig. 4; PI. VII., fig. 15); trilobites 
(fragments of carapace); ostracoda, apparently 
referable to Primitia spp. 
Favosites gothlandica , Lam. The mode of preserva¬ 
tion of this fossil is rather peculiar, since the walls 
of the corallites are practicallv recrystallized and 
fused Avith the infiltrated calcite, so that only the 
“ dark line ” of the original coral for the greater 
part of this oorallum remains differentiated, and 
the corallites appear to have excessively thin walls 
(PI. II., fig. 5 )-. . 
Also numerous crinoid remains in the debris sur¬ 
rounding the coral. 
Rock composed chieflv of crinoid remains. 
Favosites gothlandica, Lam. ; and numerous crinoid 
remains. 
The friable Avea.thered surface of this specimen 
vielded several small ’fossils on scrubbing the rock, 
viz., acerate and flattened spines of a palseechinoid, 
grooved arm-ossicles of crinoids, and a small os- 
tracod, nearly related to Primitia paucipunctata, 
Jones and Hall, a species which has been previously 
recorded by the writer from the Yeringian lime¬ 
stone of Cave Hill, Lilvdale. 1
