These fossils indicate of course that Skinner's and Dreir's beds 

 are of the type of the Muddy Creek, Murray River, Shelford, 

 Mornington, and some other eocene deposits, and they thus come 

 under Messrs. Hall and Pritchard's division — Balconibian. 



A well was sunk for water at Little Brothers' sawmill which 

 lies back from the river about a mile to the north of Skinner's. 

 The surface is 146 feet above sea level and the depth of sinking 

 92 feet. The strata disclosed are : — 



Clay --.---.. 4 feet 

 Drift, with occasional ironstones containing 

 Magellania garibaldiana and other 

 eocene fossils - - - - - 66 ,, 

 Calcareous sands, with numerous casts of shells 22 ,, 



Total 92 feet. 

 At this depth brackish water was struck.
