considerable area outside it. The first section given in this paper 

 differs in certain important respects from those of ISIessrs. Burag- 

 wanath and Herman, and the extent of favourable auriferous beds 

 — those in the vicinity of the Chewton ge-anticline appear to be 

 more auriferous than others — is increased. 



Bendigonian beds some distance down in the series are shown 

 to occur near FryerstoAvn, and the succession on every side of the 

 "dome" clearly indicates the pitch. 



A map showing the general arrangement of the beds and more 

 than 150 localities visited is given. 



Acknowledgments. 

 In conclusion, I wish to express my indebtedness to all who have 

 assisted me. To the late Dr. T. S. Hall in particular I owe much 

 for placing at my disposal literature and specimens in his posses- 

 sion and for an always kindly interest in my work. His death has 

 deprived the scientific world of its greatest authority on Australian 

 graptolites. Mr. F. Chapman, A.L.S., Palaeontologist of the 

 National Museum of Victoria, has assisted me by elucidating the 

 cryptic symbols on the old Geological Sui-vey plans and V)y permit- 

 ting me to examine more closely than would otherwise have been 

 possible specimens collected by officers of the Survey now in the 

 possession of the Miiseum. From ^Ir. H. _Herman, Director of Geo- 

 logical Survey, and officers of the Mines Department of Victoria, 1 

 have received valuable assistance. The re-drawing of plans, etc., 

 has been carried out b}' the latter in a manner far superior to any- 

 thing I could have done personally. Mr. R. A. Keble, of the Mines 

 Department, in particular, has been in touch with my work since 

 its beginning, and, besides making many valuable suggestions, has 

 been kind enough to read through the manuscript and assist in 

 moulding it to a publishable form. Dr. Rudolf Ruedemann very 

 kindly forwarded me, through the Smithsonian Institute, his mono- 

 graph on the " Graptolites of New York," a work of the value of 

 which it is unnecesary for me to speak. It is impossible in any 

 list such as this to do justice in detail to all who have assisted, so 

 I conclude by thanking collectively all who have helped me. For 

 the accuracy of observations and conclusions contained in this 

 paper and not a.scril>ed to others I must hold myself personally 

 responsible.
