Abstract

I am indebted to the kindness of Mr. T. Stephens, M.A.,
F.G.S., for an opportunity of examining the fossils which form the subject of the present communication to the Society.
They represent two localities and two horizons, geologically
speaking. The first and largest parcel, consisting almost
wholly of Trilobite remains, is from the Mersey River district,
North Tasmania, whilst the other fossils are from a conglomerate
of unknown age at Table Cape. It will perhaps be
best to consider the two as distinct from one another.
