BED F. This bed of bluish shale is three inches thick, much 

 jointed, weathered, and iron-stained, with the plant impressions 

 fragmentary and poorly preserved. 



BED G. There are no special features about this shale bed, 

 which much resembles the one above in being jointed and much iron- 

 stained, but with the fossils somewhat better preserved. Its thickness 

 is six inches. 



BED H. This bed is 15 inches thick and is made up of a very 

 slightly weathered dark greyish shale. The fossils are similar to those 

 of the Insect Bed E but the impressions are less fragmentary, w r hile 

 their form and structure can be studied without much difficulty. 

 It is in the upper portion of this bed that two individuals belonging 

 to the Coleoptera and another, evidently a Hemipterous insect, were 

 found, indicating with their accompanying flora that this is probably 

 the bed from which Mr. Simmonds many years ago obtained his 

 fossil insects and leaves. A conspicuous feature about the bed is the 

 comparative rarity of Thinnfeldia in it, and the abundance of species 

 of Tceniopteris, Sphenopteris, and Stenopteris. Bed H might be 

 exploited very profitably for the flora it contains, as it is distinctly 

 the most prolific one in the series. 



BED I. Very little attention has been given to the examination 

 of this bed of shales, and therefore nothing can be said of its contents. 

 Where exposed on the surface the bed is 15 inches thick, some- 

 what weathered, and where examined was found to contain very few 

 fossil impressions. 



BED J. This consists of a bed of sandstone several feet thick. 

 It forms the upper portion of a great development of sandstones ex- 

 posed in this locality, and is the basement bed on which the fossili- 

 ferous shales and the interbedded volcanic tuff were laid clown. 



GOODNA. 



The Goodna fossil insect described by Mr. Tillyard and collected 

 by Mr. L. C. Ball, Third Government Geologist, was found on portion 

 172, parish of Goodna, about four miles south of Goodna Railway 

 Station, and about a mile west of Woogaroo Creek. The matrix is 

 a dark yellowish brown clay ironstone, and very similar to nodules 

 of clay ironstone common in the locality, and in which a number of 

 fragments of fossil fish have been found. A portion of a dicoty- 

 ledonous leaf was also observed in the matrix containing the insect, 

 but too indistinct for specific or even generic determination.
