On the top of the liill there occur several blocks and pieces of 

 red granite much resembling that of Futter's and the Mokoan 

 Ranges. The striated pebbles are fairly numerous, and on some 

 of them the striae are not sharp and clear, but much worn on 

 the edges, as if indicating long-continued weathering. Extended 

 and careful collecting would probably result in examples of otlier 

 rocks and fossils than those named being obtained. 



Glenrowan and Taminick Deposits. 



These deposits occur in the valley lying between Futter's 

 Range on the east and the Mokoan Ranges on the west, from 3 to 

 4 miles north-west of Glenrowan, a station on the Melbourne to 

 Sydney railway, 136 miles from the former city, and 747 feet 

 above sea level. 



They prove the westward extension of these North-Eastern 

 glacial deposits. No similar deposits have, as far as ascertain- 

 able, been recorded within a distance of at least 40 miles to the 

 west of Futtei''s Range. 



There are here three inliers of the material. The largest one 

 occurs in allotments 44 \ 44^ 45^, 45^ 45^', 61, 61 S 62, 62\ 65, 

 parish of Glenrowan, and forms a hill known as Canning's Hill. 



Canning's Hill. 



This hill is essentially composed of claystones, sandstones and 

 slates belonging probably to the Ordovician system. Overlying 

 them are the glacial deposits, about 50 feet thick, which probably 

 belong to the Permo-Carboniferous (Carboniferous) system. 



A thin cap of basaltic soil and basalt, about 25 feet thick, 

 possibly of the Eocene period, covers portion of the glacial area. 

 The whole occurrence comprises an area of about 250 acres. 



The greater part of the glacial deposit consists of clayey 

 gravels with loose pebbles of agates, quartzites, cherts, indurated 

 sandstones and mudstones, granites, felsites, schists, quartz, etc. 

 In fact, with the exception of fossiliferous sandstone and calcare- 

 ous mudstone, which were not observed, the rocks of the pebbles 

 here are similar to those at Mundara. Though most of the 

 material as seen is loose, there are parts of the hill where large 

 blocks of highly indurated ferruginous grits and breccia-conglom-
