The till consists of a matrix of tough uiud, with embedded 

 pebbles, blocks, and masses of various rocks in greater or less 

 number. 



In general appearance it has a strong resemblance to the 

 glacial beds near Bacchus Marsh, Victoria, described' in various 

 publications by Professor David, B.A., F.R.S., and Messrs. 

 E. J. Dunn, F.G.S., G. Officer, B.Sc, L. Balfour, B.A., E. G. 

 Hogg, M.A., Geo. Sweet, F.G.S., and C. C. Brittlebank, and to 

 those recently described^ by Professor E. G. Hogg, M.A., as 

 occurring at Little Peppermint Bay, south of Hobart, Tasmania. 

 Both of these occurrences are regarded as of Permo-Carboniferous 

 age. 



The included pebbles in the Wynyard beds are rounded, sub- 

 angular, and angular in shape. Many of them, especially those 

 of a softer nature, show distinct striae. They comprise various 

 rocks, such as indurated and normal sandstones, quartzites, 

 lydianite, banded and ordinary jaspers, quartz of several colors, 

 felsites and mica schists of various colors and kinds, spotted mica 

 schist, quartz schist, indurated fine conglomerates, lode quartz 

 showing included pieces of slate, fine-grained grey and red 

 granitoid rocks, argillaceous and siliceous slates and shales, 

 hornstones, coarse grey aplite, agates, chalcedony, fossiliferous 

 and non-fossiliferous crystalline limestone, and several varieties 

 of igneous rocks of dark color and fine and medium texture.
