Only 173 pr imary or supplementary type specimens were discovered in the fossil collections in Tasmania . These were deposited in the Geology Depar tment of the University of Tasmania , the Tasmanian Museum and the Geological Survey of Tasmania in Hobar t , and in the Queen Victoria Museum in Launceston. T h e species are listed and arranged in alphabetical order in their appropr ia te larger biological groups. The publications in which the specimens are described, the appropr ia te prefixes to the registered numbers , the character of the type, the locality, the geological age, and the repository of the specimens are given. The Catalogue is completed, as far as possible, to early 1962.

Catalogue of fossil type and figured specimens in Tasmania

I N T R O D U C T I O N

Collections of Tasmanian fossils are housed in four institutions in tha t State—

1. Geology Depar tment , University of Tasmania, Hobar t .

2. Tasmanian M u s e u m and Ar t Gallery, Hoba r t .

3. Geological Survey of Tasmania , Hobar t .

4. Queen Victoria M u s e u m and Ar t Gallery, Launceston.

Few of the early types and figured specimens are in Tasmania itself. M a n y fossils were sent to palaeontologists on the mainland and to overseas specialists for examinat ion and subsequent description, and were no t returned.

Amongs t the early described species from Tasmania housed in the British Museum ( N a t u r a l History) are Palaeozoic brachiopods (Koenig, 1825), Tertiary corals from Table Cape (Duncan, 1875) and freshwater Mol lu sca (Etheridge, 1881). Also in that institution are fossil types collected by Darwin ' s par ty during the voyage of the Beagle to Van Diemen 's L a n d (the old n a m e for Tasmania) (Darwin, 1844) and by Strzelecki (1845). These included Palaeozoic Bryozoa (Lonsdale, 1844, 1845), Neogene Mollusca (Sowerby, 1845), and Palaeozoic marine fossils (Morris , 1845, 1845a).

The majority of Tert iary fossils from Table Cape (Fossil Bluff, Wynyard) were described by T a t e (1885-1893) and the type and figured specimens are in the Tate Museum, Geology Depar tment , University of Adelaide. Others were described by Tenison Woods (1876, 1877); a few of these were found in the Tasmanian Museum, Hoba r t . The majority of species described by R. Etheridge Jnr (1883, 1888, 1897) are in the Austral ian Museum, Sydney. The repository of the p lant fossils described by Feistmantel (1881, 1890) is no t k n o w n ; M r H . O. Fletcher of the Austral ian Museum suggests they may be in a Museum in Europe .

I t seems tha t all specimens described by R. M. Johnston between 1873 and 1919 were housed in the Tasmanian Collections; but few of the fossil plants (1886a, 1886b, 1886c, 1894, 1897, 1919) a n d Mollusca (1881, 1885a, 1885d, 1885e, 1886) described by h im were found, and only thirty of the 300 specimens figured by h im in the " Geology of Tasmania " (Johnston, 1888).

Types of other described species and figured specimens are in the Austral ian Museum, Sydney (Hull , 1910; Brown, 1953), in the Geology Depar tment , University of Sydney (Crockford, 1943), in the Nat iona l Museum, Melbourne (Pritchard, 1896; Chapman, 1926; Gill, 1948; Marwick, 1960), and in the Commonweal th Palaeontological Collection, Canberra (Crespin, 1958). T h e whereabouts of the Palaeozoic plants described by Cookson (1937) is uncertain.

The remains of the cetacean Prosqualodon davidi Flynn (1932), from the Tert iary of Table Cape , a re in the Zoology Depar tment , University of Tasmania . As far as is known, these represent the specimens u p o n which F lynn based his type description. U p to the present no registered number has been assigned t o them. N u m e r o u s fragments are also present in the Queen Victoria Museum, Launceston, bu t it is no t k n o w n whether any of them are referred to in the type description.

The type specimen of the interesting marsupial Wynyardia bassiana Spencer (1900), from the Table Cape Beds, is safely housed in the Tasmanian Museum, Hobar t .

Type names appear t o have been at tached to many of the early specimens by museum authori t ies ra ther than by au thors ; they are reproduced, in the catalogue tha t follows, as they appear on the specimen labels, bu t the au tho r takes no responsibility for their authenticity.

METHODS OF REGISTRATION OF SPECIMENS

N o distinctive method for the registration of type and figured specimens exists in any of the insti tutions in which these specimens are housed. All specimens carry numbers which include them in the general fossil or geological collections.

1. Registered numbers given to fossils in the collection in the Geology Depar tment , University of Tasmania , are all prefixed with the letters ' U T \ Unfortunately no distinctive numbers are given to type and figured specimens. With the complet ion of the new Depar tment of Geology builcing, all type and figured specimens, including those housed in the Tasmanian Museum, are being placed in the s t rong r o o m at the new building.

2. In the Tasmanian Museum, where the majority of type and figured specimens are housed, the individual specimen number , until recently, has been prefixed by two series of let ters: ' T M ' has been used for general fossil specimens; ' B ' has been used for general geology including fossils. M r M . R. Banks commenced an individual card index of all fossils, adding the letter ' Z ' as a prefix to all number s referring to fossils which may have been described and figured. This me thod of registration will be cont inued by M r R. Both, who now has care of the geological section at the Museum. All type and figured specimens discovered in the Tasmanian Museum are housed in a strong r o o m in the basement .

3. The collection of the Geological Survey of Tasmania contains several type and figured specimens. By arrangement with M r Banks, the Chief Government Geologist (Mr T. Hughes) has agreed tha t these should be given University Geology Depar tmen t numbers with the proviso tha t they are on permanent loan from the Geological Survey to the University. Fo r the present they will be placed in the s trong r o o m at the Tasmanian M u s e u m ; later they will be transferred to the new strong r o o m a t the University.

4. Few type and figured specimens of fossils have been housed in the Queen Victoria Museum, Launceston. T h e Director of the Museum, M r F . Ellis, and his scientific assistant, M r F . L. Sutherland, agreed to institute a new method of registration of all type and figured specimens, which will have the letters ' Q V M ' as a prefix to registered numbers . All specimens will be suitably housed.

The ages of all type and figured specimens given in the following section have, as far as possible, been revised to accord with the latest informat ion; this has been done with the valuable assistance of M r Banks. T h e age of the Tertiary Table Cape Beds is being investigated to determine their exact stratigraphical posit ion within the Tert iary sequence, and for the present an ' Oligocene or Lower Miocene ' age is assigned to them. Reference t o Format ions is based, as far as possible, o n the Lexicon of Tasmanian Stratigraphy (Smith, 1957).

The method of recording the fossils in the following section is based on that described by the writer in the Catalogue of type and figured specimens in the Commonweal th Palaeontological Collection at Canber ra (Crespin, 1960). A n asterisk against a figure number denotes the first i l lustration of the actual specimen recorded.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Special appreciat ion is extended to Professor S. W. Carey and M r M . R. Banks of the Geology Depar tment , University of Tasmania ; to the Director, D r W. Bryden, and M r R. A . Both, of the Tasmanian M u s e u m ; to the Chief Government Geologist, M r T. Hughes, and Miss Edi th Smith of the Geological Survey of Tasmania ; to the Director, M r F . Ellis, and M r F . L. Sutherland, of the Queen Victoria Museum and Ar t Gallery, Launces ton; to Miss Geddes, Librarian, Roya l Society of Tasmania , H o b a r t ; and to the Keeper of Palaeontology, D r E, I, White, of the British Museum (Natura l History), London .
