Eastern Australia has two major Mesozoic fossil localities. The Talbragar Fish Bed in central west New South Wales contains an assemblage of Upper Jurassic fishes, plants and insects. The Koonwarra Fossil Bed, in South Gippsland, Victoria, has an assemblage of Lower Cretaceous fishes, plants and insects. The geological settings of these localities are described. Each locality has a common genus of fish that was originally described as Leptolepis. The names of both these fish have been changed, the Talbragar one to Cavenderichthys talbragarensis and the Koonwarra one to Waldmanichthys koonwarri. Both of these fish have been placed into the Family Luisiellidae, together with a Patagonian fish, Luisiella feruglioi. Each locality also has a member of the family Archaeomenidae: Archaeomene tenuis from Talbragar and Wadeichthys oxyops from Koonwarra. The relationships of these and other fish have been discussed by various authors over the last 20 years and a summary of these comments is presented, as well as a brief comparison between the plants of both localities. The localities of Talbragar, Koonwarra and the Argentinian fishes during the Mesozoic appear to have similar palaeo-environmental settings, which may explain the similarities in the assemblages. The Australian localities contain well-preserved specimens which shed light on the diversity and extent of fishes in southern Gondwana, a region otherwise poorly represented in the fossil record.

Since the communication of the paper “On Thylacoleo,” in the “Philosophical Transactions” for 1871, further explorations of the caves and breccia-fissures in Wellington Valley, New South Wales, have been made, by a grant for that purpose from the Legislature of the Colony, and carried out by E. B. Ramsay, Esq., F. L. S., Curator of the Museum of Natural History, Sydney. The present paper treats of the fossils contributing to the further restoration of the great carnivorous Marsupial ( Thylacoleo carnifex , Ow.). They exemplify the entire dentition in situ of the upper and lower jaws of a nature individual: the bones of the fore-limb, of which those of the antibrachium and the ungual phalanges are described, are compared with those of other Marsupials, and of placental, especially feline, Carnivora . An entire lower jaw with the articular condyles adds to the grounds for determination of the habits and affinities of the extinct Marsupial. Figures of these fossils of the natural size accompany the paper.

The specimen to be described in this paper was presented to the embryological collection of the Anatomy Department of the University of Sydney by Dr A. A. Palmer of the Public Health Service of New South Wales.It is a pleasant duty to acknowledge indebtedness to Dr Palmer, not only for his kindness in making over the specimen to the Department, but also for his swift recognition of its interest.

The material which forms the subject of the present communication was recently discovered at two different localities in New South Wales, and was received for investigation partly from Prof. Sir Edgeworth-David through Prof. A. C. Seward, F. R. S., partly from Mr. G. D. Osborne, Lecturer in Geology at the University of Sydney. The two localities are (1) near Mt. Tangorin, Hunter River District, (2) Lyndon, S. of Eccleston, Allyn River. The six specimens from the first locality were all found in situ by Mr. G. D. Osborne, in a fresh-water conglomerate belonging to the Kuttung Series of rocks, at an horizon at least 2,000 feet above the base of the series. The single specimen from the second locality was found as a loose pebble, but although the exact horizon is unknown the fossil probably also belongs to the Kuttung Series.

AbstractFine radiating groups of columnar aragonite crystals occur in a basaltic pipe at Kulnura, New South Wales, associated with calcite in habits varying from simple rhombohedra to complex spherulitic groups. It is proposed that the presence of impurities, especially magnesium, induced the crystallization of aragonite and was also responsible for the variety of calcite crystal habits present. Two distinct growth environments are indicated: steam-explosion breccia pipes containing aragonite and calcite showing an advanced stage of spherulitic growth; and vesicles with calcite in varying stages of spherulitic growth. This paper presents a preliminary study based on available material and on observations made in situ while access to the locality was still possible.
