Some time ago, Mr. A. Montgomery, M.A., Government Geologist of Tasmania, presented to the Australian Museum a small collection of Silurian fossils from Zeehan and Heazlewood.
As so little is at present known of the organic remains occurring in the sedimentary rocks of these important mineral fields, a few notes on their affinities may not be out of place, notwithstanding the very poor state of preservation of the fossils. However, any facts that may be evolved from their elaboration will perhaps be of use to future investigators who may have the good fortune to take up the subject hereafter.
