The Heathcotian. 151 



Mr. O. A. L. Wliitelaw, in the geological sketch map of the 

 parish of Heathcote (1896), used the nomenclature based upon 

 Mr. Howitt's view. Mr. W. H. Ferguson in 1900 described the 

 relations of the beds yielding the fossils, described by Mr. 

 Etheridge as cambrian. Mr. Hall has referred to the possibility 

 of the occurrence of graptolites in these beds, in which he has 

 "detected theca of the type of Bryograptusy Ranft asserted 

 the presence of ordovician graptolites at Costerfield.
