The late Mr. Wilkinson, when a member of the Victorian 

 Survey Staff, traced an old gravel from Steiglitz down the 

 Moorabool, and in accordance with the classification of the 

 tertiaries then current called it miocene, but which, as Mr. 

 Pritchard has pointed out, should be altered to eocene or even 

 pre-eocene.* In a similar manner, some of the so-called pliocene 

 drifts and gravels may, when re-examined in the light of know- 

 ledge now possessed, prove to be of miocene age. In regard to 

 those of the Leigh River Valley, reliable data for determining 

 their geological horizon within narrow limits are, as we have seen, 

 furnished by the marine beds with which they are associated. 

 Further discussion of this subject would, however, be out of place 

 in the present paper, and it is therefore postponed for some 

 future occasion.
