Additions to the list of Table Cape fossils, together with further remarks upon certain fossil shells supposed to be identical with living species

Re-examination and comparison of fossil forms referred to with the living types supposed to be identical with them. The fossil forms more particularly referred to me for re-examination and comparison with living types are the following : — 1. Crossea labiata—Ten. -Woods. Fossil form, originally determined by the writer. 2. Natica polita—Ten.-Woods. Fossil form, originally determined by Rev. J. E. Tenison-Woods. 3. Trivia Europea.—Fossil form, originally determined by Rev. J. E. Tenison-Woods. 4. Trigonia acuticostata—McCoy. Fossil form, originally determined by Prof. McCoy. 5. Syrnola bifasciata. Fossil form, originally determined by Rev. J. E. Tenison-Woods. The investigations carried on by Professor Tate and other indefatigable workers, since that time, have placed this matter beyond all reasonable doubt, and now there is every reason to believe that the Table Cape beds, with their Australian equivalents, mark the earliest dawn of the eocene period in Australia
