THE VICTORIAN NATURALIST. 167 



Page 82. — A splendid series of Devonian fish has been 

 gathered by Mr. Geo. Sweet in the Mansfield sandstones. 



Page 87. — Two beds, totalling 13 ft., have, for some reason, 

 been dropped out of the middle of the section described by 

 Daintree, and consequently we have his figures — namely, 273 ft. 

 — altered to 260 ft. As the section quoted by Ulrich is taken 

 from the notes to the quarter sheet, we should like an explanation 

 of this change. Daintree did certainly, elsewhere, give 260 ft. as 

 the thickness displayed, but these are not the detailed figures 

 there given. 



There are many minor points to which attention might be 

 drawn ; but if the catalogue be regarded as Ulrich's, practically 

 unaltered, its great stores of information will be of the greatest 

 value to anyone wishing to know some of the localities for our 

 Victorian rocks. It cannot, however, be looked on as a guide to 

 Victorian geology, as the growth of our knowledge during the 

 past twenty years has materially altered our views on many of the 

 points here described. It is a pity that, stamped with authority 

 as it is, and signed by such a well-known name, an attempt has 

 not been made to bring it more up to date. — T. S. Hall.
