A description of a very remarkable species of <i>Dendrophyllia</i> from the Tertiary deposits of Table Cape, in North Tasmania, was read before this Society on June 9, 1875; and shortly afterwards I received a parcel of other kinds of corals from the same locality, accompanied by a request from the Royal Society of Tasmania that I would undertake their examination. I was then made aware, from an abstract of a paper read before the Royal Society of Tasmania, that all these corals had been under the careful hands of the Rev. Julian Woods, to whom the palæontology of the Australian province is so much indebted. The Rev. Mr. Woods gave his reasons for believing the Table-Cape deposits to be of the same Lower Cainozoic age as that which I had given them, and supported his opinions by references to the similarity and identity of the species of Echinodermata, Mollusca, and Corals found in them and in the Lower Cainozoic deposits of the mainland. As my inferences were derived second-hand from Mr. Woods, he clearly has the priority of having decided the geological position of the Table-Cape beds. He stated that, after a comparison of the Tasmanian and Australian specimens, he found in the deposits of both countries such well-known forms as <i>Hemipatagus Forbesi</i>, Woods & Dunc., <i>Cellepora gambierensis, Pectunculus laticostatus, Cuculleea concamerata, Dentalium Hicksii, Trigonia semiundulata, Corbula sulcata, Cyprcea eximia, Voluta Hannafordii, Voluta antiscalaris, Conotrochus M9Coyi</i>, and a large <i>Placotrochus deltoideus</i>. This is a fauna which is characteristic of the
