last year* we stated that it would seem advisable to refer the 

 older volcanic rock to two distinct periods, should it be found 

 that it was anywhere intercalated with eocene rocks, as we 

 showed that it was in some cases overlain by beds which had been 

 referred to lower eocene. At a later datef we suggested that it 

 might be found advisable to remove it altogether from the 

 tertiary period. Messrs. Tate and Dennant, subsequently to our 

 lirst paper, J stated that the older volcanic rock " may ultimately 

 prove to be cretaceous ;" while Professor Tate, in the tabular 

 view of the Tertiary Strata of Australia, as given in his 

 Presidential Address before tlie Adelaide Meeting of the 

 Australasian Association, puts the older volcanic rock under the. 

 head of pre-eocene, while, by a strange oversight, the leaf beds 

 underlying it are referred to the eocene period. There is, we now 

 think, not sufficient evidence to suggest a subdivision of the 

 volcanic rock, and certainly none for considering its age anything 

 but eocene.
