Macleay has lately received from Mr. Boyd, of Levuka, a few fossils from the centre of the island, which have been placed in my hands for examination. I am not able to give any information as to the locality in which they are found, so I reserve any details until we are placed in possession of fuller particulars as to the deposit. I will merely note now that they are of great interest, being probably tertiary, and possibly belonging to an early formation of that period. They comprise Corals and Mollusca as follow : Corals. — 1 . A Fimgia, small, thin, the base not seen. The specimen is broken, but the whole disk is not more than two inches across. As the matrix has not been cleared away the genus is not quite certain, but I have little doubt that it is a true Fungia, and if so it is the only fossil form we know, as the fossils formerly described as Fungias by various authors are known to belong to the genera Microbacia, Oyclolites, &c. The fossil is tropical in character. 2. AFIabelhcm, decidedly
