Fishing Point. 

 For about a mile inland from the mouth of the Aire the 

 country is occupied by sand dunes. For a couple of miles further 

 the eocene rocks crop out on the low hills forming the eastern 

 borders of the marsh. Possibly they extend a little further but 

 the dense nature of the vegetation together with the character of 

 the rocks as we went inland induced us to go no further than 

 where Wilkinson had indicated the last outcrop. As far north 

 as Fishing Point the rocks consist of clay beds intercalated with 

 fine grained yellow limestone, gritty polyzoal rock and ferru- 

 ginous grit, the grains reaching the size of a pea. Small land- 

 slips are common on the face of the low hills, and on the fresh 

 ones we secured a fair number of fossils. The stratification 

 appears to be quite horizontal, while with regard to the fossils it 

 is interesting to note that Murray (11, p. 101) referred the beds 

 to the oligocene of the survey, correlating them with those of the 

 Gellibrand, Mornington and the Moorabool Valley, and thus 

 indicating the close relationship which undoubtedly exists 

 between them.
