The sixth and seventh plates give some frirther important fossilIMollusca, characteristic of the Upper Silurian formations, fromGippsland. The eighth plate gives figures of a new and abundant species ofHinnites, very characteristic of the Victorian Miocene Tertiarydeposits. And the two last plates represent some of the more interestingand widely distributed of our Tertiary Sea Urchins. The four remaining Decades required to complete the work willcontinue the illustration of the fossil collections made in the courseof the Geological Survey of the colony. Frederick December 1878.
