Albert V. James: 



In the three editions of quarter-sheet 7 S.E.. a large heart- 

 shaped area of tree covered granite, south of BuUa, is wrnngly 

 coloured as basaltic. 



In the military contour map of Sunbury two errors in road 

 marking occur. In the extreme N.E. of the area the formed road 

 L M (Plate XXXII.) is omitted, while the road N O in tht- centre 

 west is shown as continuous across the^gorge, which is called in this 

 paper, "Column Gully." 



Tlie granodiorite boundaries in the N.E. eannot ])e accurately 

 placed, owing to the gravitation of granitic detritus from the lulls. 

 It covers the lower lying basalt, and liides the junction. 



Owing to the great accumulation of hill wasli along the streams 

 many outcrops are completely covered. Ihis is probahly the 

 reason why two conglomerates marked on quarter sheet 7 S.E. are 

 not now visible. 



Attention is drawn to tlie names of the streams in this ai-ea, 

 and a study of the geological quarter-sheets, the military contour 

 maps, and tlie paidsli plans shows liow loose the nomenclature has 

 been. The names of the streams in the parish plans of 1901 differ 

 from those of 191G, and as the names of the latter agree with those 

 given by the local residents, the writer has acce23ted them for 

 this paper. The eastern branch is Deep Creek, the western branch 

 Jackson's Creek, and the Maril)yi'nong Kiver (formerly 8alt- 

 w^ater River),* the stream from the junction of the creeks to the 

 Yarra. The following is a table of tlie names given to thci streams 

 in this area in old and recent publications : —
