bed rock is not now visible about here, so that we cannot discuss 

 this statement. The new edition of the Catalogue of Rocks in 

 the Technological Museum describes a specimen (Nr. I., 79) as 

 " decomposed granite " from the foundations of the Royal Hotel, 

 St. Kilda. The specimen in the -Museum is evidently a granitoid 

 rock, but we have not had an opportunity of closely inspecting it. 



The sewerage tunnel under Stoney Creek, north of the pumping 

 station, passed through a granitic sand composed of roughened 

 quartz grains, white clay and flakes of black mica. Mr. Spry 

 has shown us similar material from a sewerage shaft near the 

 South Yarra Railway Station. The large sand grains in the 

 clays under the Older Volcanic at North Melbourne seem to 

 suggest a similar granitic origin.* 



In conclusion we have to thank numerous friends for informa- 

 tion, and for the opportunity of examining fossils from various 

 localities. Mr. T. S. Hart's knowledge of the Brighton district 

 has been of great help. Mr. A. W. Craig has allowed us to 

 carefully examine his large collections from the Eocene of Royal 

 Park. We have also received fossils from various localities from 

 Rev. G. Ramage, Messrs. J. A. Atkinson, A. E. Kitson, J. T. 

 J utson, E. J . Robertson, Graham Officer, and others, while 

 Messrs. G. D. Barker and Hosie have kindly supplied us with 

 particulars in reference to several bores. Mr. T. W. Fowler has 

 been good enough to survey the cutting in Royal Park for us 

 and to cive us the contour of the cutting. 



* Since the paper was read Mr. J. A. Atkinson has drawn our attention to the presence 

 of a decomposed coarse granitoid rock in a sewerage shaft at Kensington Road, Toorak. 

 Some hundreds of loads were obtained.
