New South Wales has a very similar assemblage of genera; whilst Tasmania possesses Camarotoechia, Stropheodonta and Orthis.
Devonian Brachiopods.—
The Devonian limestones and associated strata are fairly rich in Brachiopods. The Victorian rocks of this age at Bindi and Buchan contain genera such as Chonetes (C. australis), Spirifer (S. yassensis and S. howitti) and Athyris.
In New South Wales we again meet with Spirifer yassensis, veritable shell-banks of this species occurring in the neighbourhood of Yass, associated with a species of Chonetes (C. culleni) ([Fig. 86 D, E]).

C—Atrypa reticularis, L. sp. Silurian. Victoria
D—Chonetes culleni, Dun. Mid. Devonian. New South Wales
E—Spirifer yassensis, de Koninck. Devonian. New South Wales and Victoria
In the Upper Devonian of New South Wales abundant remains occur of both Spirifer disjunctus and Camarotoechia pleurodon (var.).
The Upper Devonian Series at Nyrang Creek near Canowindra, New South Wales, contains a Lingula (L. gregaria) associated with the Lepidodendron plant beds of that locality.
