the missing ones being Pecten ga')nhierensis, Hinnite& 

 eorioensis, and S'pondylus gcederojwides. The last two,

 Australia, while the remaining one is a common shell at 

 Mt. Gambler, and in the Glenelg cliffs. 



With such a small number of species, the percentage 

 system of testing the age of the Bairnsdale deposit cannot, 

 of course, be applied, but we are certainly on safe ground in 

 classing it with those beds wherein all, or nearly all, its 

 shells are I'epresented, namely, with the Eocene of Muddy 

 Creek and South Australia.
