Abstract

Some little while ago the Government Geologist of Tasmania,
Mr. P. B. Nye, M.Sc., B.M.E., forwarded to me at
the National Museum, Melbourne, for determination, a specimen
of slaty shale with fossil impressions. The rock must
have originally been of the nature of a fine, slimy, or plastic
mud, for the impressions are very well preserved.
Subclass Polychaeta .
Fam. TASMANADIIDAE, nov.
Genus Tasmanadia, nov.
Horizon.-Probably Cambrian.
Locality.-Kirkup's Quarry, Arthur River, Tasmania.
Holotype in Geological Survey Museum, Hobart.
