Contribution to the palaeontology of the Upper Palaeozoic rocks of Tasmania

During many years of observation among the Upper Palaeozoic rocks of Tasmania I have made large collections of fossils in different parts of the island. Among these I have identified many forms, already described by Morris, M'Coy, Dana, de Koninck, and other authors, as occurring in a similar formation in New South Wales. There is a considerable number of important fossils which I believe to be new to science, and, as it is very desirable for purposes of reference and classification that these fossils should be described, I have ventured to submit a list of the fossils known to me as occurring in Tasmanian rocks, together with provisional descriptions of the spec1es deemed by me to be new to science. Includes list of upper palaeozoic marine fossils known to occur in Tasmanian rocks.
