Kalivinan. 



The beds at Jimmy's Point, near the mouth of the Gippsland 

 Lakes, are near the township of Kalimna. They were referred 

 to Older Pliocene by Sir F. M'Coy, and by Mr. Dennant to 

 Miocene. There are two other deposits in Victoria with rich 

 faunas, which were considered Older Pliocene by M'Coy, namely, 

 the Upper beds at Muddy Creek, near Hamilton, and the 

 Beaumaris beds. 



The former is called Miocene by Messrs. Tate and Dennant 

 and ourselves, but, as it immediately overlies beds belonging to 

 our older Tertiary series, a name received from this locality is 

 unsuitable. The Beaumaris beds, again, are considered by 

 ourselves to belong to the same series, but are quoted as older by 

 Professor Tate, so that they are out of court. 



Bakombiatt. 



The clays and limestones of Balcombe's Bay contain another 

 distinct fauna. The beds are sometimes spoken of as at 

 Mornington, but the locality we give is more exact. The Lower 

 Beds at Muddy Creek and the Orphanage Hill beds at Fyansford, 

 near Geelong, are approximately equivalent to the Balcombe's 

 Bay Beds, but the exact separation of the two sets of beds at 

 Muddy Creek is not yet sufficiently clear, and a name from that 

 locality would lead to confusion. The beds are called Eocene 

 by Messrs. Tate and Dennant and ourselves. Sir F. M'Coy 

 considered them Oligocene. 



/an Jucian} 



The section near Spring Creek, on the coast of Bass Strait, 

 south of Geelong, is in the main in the Parish of Jan Juc, and 

 its fauna differs greatly from that of Balcombe's Bay. The 

 confusion about the age of these beds has been referred to above. 

 The township near Spring Creek is called Torquay, but the use 

 of this name in England i-enders another advisable. The older 

 name for Torquay was Puebla, but the employment of this name, 

 again, would lead to confusion with certain American strata.
