Port Jackson

Contemporary diaries and the water-colours of artists such as the Port Jackson Painter vividly tell of Aboriginal life when the First Fleet in 1788 settled its cargo of convicts in Australia. Fishing was important around the waters of Port Jackson, whose Aboriginal inhabitants are recorded to have used the techniques of spear-fishing and angling. Were other methods also used? Fish remains from a shell midden provide an opportunity to investigate.

In this paper is given a revision of all but one of the corals in the Rev. W. B. Clarke's first collection of fossils from New South Wales; the collection was placed by him in the Woodwardian Museum at Cambridge in 1844, and was described by M'Coy (1847). The types are still preserved at the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge. A description is also given of the holotype of Amplexus arundinaceus Lonsdale, which was collected from New South Wales by Strzelecki in 1842, and is now in the British Museum (Natural History), London. The species are distributed as follows: 1? Permian, 1 Lower Carboniferous, 1 Devonian, and 1 Silurian or Lower Devonian.

The genus Cordania Clarke, 1892, has been known from the Lower Devonian (Lochkovian-Pragian) of the Appalachian Province and apparently from the Lower-Middle Devonian of China. Probable Lochkovian strata of the Biddabirra Formation in the Amphitheatre Group from near Cobar, New South Wales, Australia, have yielded Cordania buicki new species, extending the range of the genus to eastern Australia. Cladistic analysis of Cordania identifies C. buicki as more closely related to species from Oklahoma than to a northern Appalachian grade.
