From various shafts sunk through the " Devonian " rocks of the Gympie mining- district, a well-preserved fauna has been collected.

Mr. Etheridge's determinations of these furnish the following list of species : —

Euomphalus, sp.

Spirifera undifera, var. undulata, Rom. Pl. XVI. figs. 3, 4, 5.

— — ubia, Eth. Pl. XVI. fig. 6.

— — vespertilio, Sow. Pl. XVI. fig. 2.

Edmondia obovata, Eth. Pl. XIII. fig. 3.

— — concentrica, Eth. Pl. XIII. fig. 2.

Pleurotomaria carinata, Sow. Pl. XV. fig. 6.

Aviculopecten multiradiatus, Eth. Pl. XIII. fig. 1.

— — limaeformis, Morris. Pl. XIV. fig. 1.

Strophomena rhomboidalis, var. analoga, Phill. Pl. XVIII. fig. L

At the Lucky-Valley diggings and at Apis Creek, near the Apis Creek homestead, peculiar casts of encrinital stems, probably belonging to the genus Actinocrinus, occur in a lydianized slate. The strike
