I.—On the Occurrence of the Genus Turrilepas, H. Woodw., and Annelid Jaws in the Upper Silurian (? Wenlock) Rocks of New South Wales

Extract

The correspondence in the life of the Wenlock rocks of Great Britain and those probably occupying a similar horizon in New South Wales is a very marked one. At present, I wish more particularly to draw attention to the occurrence of the genus Turrilepas and Annelid jaws in the Bowning Beds of New South Wales. This series of rocks has been enthusiastically investigated by Mr. John Mitchell, who, in his capacity of Teacher of the Public School of that place for some years, had an excellent opportunity of working out the fauna of the series in question. His researches are detailed in two papers, “Notes on the Geology of Bowning,” and “The Geological Sequence of the Bowning Beds.” Both the plates of Turrilepas and the small Annelid jaws are found in the Lower Trilobite bed of this series, and are chiefly from the typical locality of Bowning Creek.
