Art. X. — Glacial Deposits at Taminick, Glenroivaii and 

 Greta, North- Eastern District, Victoria. 



By a. E. KITSON, F.G.S. 

 [Read lltli June, 1903.] 



The occurrence of glacial deposits in the North-Eastern District 

 of Victoria has been known for many years. They have been 

 recorded by Mr. Norman Taylor^ from Rutherglen and Spring- 

 hurst, and Mr. E. J. Dunn has observed them at Eldorado and 

 Tarrawingee. 



Later on Mr. W. H. Ferguson mapped a number of discon- 

 nected occurrences in the Greta and Hansen districts, and two 

 near Pelluebla in the Tungamah district. There are also 

 indicated on the new geological map of Victoria two areas at 

 Wooragee. 



These occurrences are principally in the basins of the Doma 

 Mungi or Black Dog Creek, and of the King and Ovens Rivers, 

 between Futter's and Tatong Ranges on the west, and the Pilot 

 and Black Ranges on the east. 



In the Taininick and Gleiirowan districts no previous record 

 of glacial deposits has been made, while those in the Greta 

 district, though already mapped, have not yet been described. 

 A few remarks will therefore be made upon them before dealing 

 with the Taminick and Glenrowan occurrences. 



Greta Deposits. 



In the parishes of Greta and Laceby, between the King River 

 and the Fifteen Mile Creek, there are no fewer than 14 inliers 

 of glacial deposits varying in area from about 10 acres to 3 .square 

 miles. They occur in the broad plain west of the King River. 

 The most northerly occurrence, on the boundary between the two 

 parishes, may be taken as a typical example, and described in a
