154 GEOLOGY OF THE GLENDONBROOK DISTRICT, 



northern part, from portion -11 to portion 29, Parish of Stanhope, 

 but the remainder is somewhat less certain. However, in portions 

 70 and 90, Parish of Stanhope, there is a conglomerate not unlike 

 the Greta conglomerate, associated with a soft brownish and 

 yellowish sandstone containing indeterminate plant-remains, and it 

 is not unreasonable to put these down as belonging to these mea- 

 sures, more especially as they occur at localities where one would 

 expect to find the Greta Measures. In portion 42, Parish of Stan- 

 hope, there are some shaly beds which contain plant-leaves. Along 

 the northern part of the outcrop, and where it is close to the Web- 

 ber's Creek fault, the dips are considerably higher than they are a 

 short distance to the east or west, where they are not so close to the 

 fault-line. 



Coal is developed in these measures, and actual outcrops can be 

 seen in Kangaroo Creek, on portion 90, Parish of Tangorin, and 

 also in Billy Brook, on portion 26, Parish of Stanhope. 



At the Kangaroo Creek outcrop, Professor David has measured 

 a section of the seam as follows* : — 



Roof. Conglomerate containing pebbles up to 3 or 4 inches in 



diameter. 



Oft. 6in. Hard bituminous coal. 



lft. 8in. Clay shale. 



Oft. 8in. Carbonaceous sandstone. 



Oft. 9in. Hard bituminous coal. 



Oft. 2in. Band of pebbly sandstone. 



lft. 3in. Hard bituminous coal. 



Oft. oin. \ B aiK l G f fine conglomerate and sandstone, carbonaceous in 



lft. oin. J P laces and cla y e y- 



4ft. Oin. Hard bituminous coal with pitchy lustre on fleshly fractured 

 surfaces. This coal approaches a cannel coal in composi- 

 tion. 



Oft. Bin. Coaly shale. 



10ft. Oin. Coal and bands. 



Mr. Frank Drinan, of Glendon Brook, very kindly piloted me to 

 the outcrop in Billy Brook. The position of this outcrop has been 

 fixed fairly closely. It is in the bed of the creek, and the bearing
