The purpose of this note is to record these zoologically important animals, in the hope that further search will discover more of them and thus allow this part of the fauna to be properly described. All the chordates found are primitive forms which retain a calcite skeleton of echinoderm type ('calcichordates'). General accounts of these animals are given in Jefferies (1981a, 1986). To avoid confusion it must be mentioned that many workers regard them as echinoderms, notably.
