Fur titer Note on Glacial Deposits, Baccluis Marsh. 14o 



this district. A detailed description we must leave for a future 

 paper. 



Among the fossil plant i-emains we have discovered in the 

 Bacchus Marsh sandstones, what Sir F. McCoy thinks are 

 probably Schizofieura are by far the most abundant. Sir 

 Frederick has also determined the genus Ptilophylliun, being the 

 first occurrence of this genus in Victoria. He has described it 

 imder the name of P. officeri. Several other forms are awaiting 

 identification. They all come from the Schizoneura bed — a thin 

 clayey band about four inches in width. The horizon is apparently 

 above that of the Gaiigamopteris beds. 



Sir F. McCoy's description of Ptilophylbim officeri is as follows : 

 ■" Pinnse about one inch wide ; pinnules about eleven in one inch, 

 nearly at right angles to rachis, with coarse, unequal, longitudinal 

 strife ; width of pinnules about half a line, one line apart ; rachis 

 about one line wide."
