(22) Mt. Wellington. 



Locality.— Ko.\\\ Horse Gully, near Dolodorook Creek, parish of Nap 



Nap Marra, county of Tanjil. 



Occurrence. -^Vih-cx:\st:x\\\i\i:^ grey limestone of Upper Cambrian age, 

 forming a lenticular patch. 



Economic. — There are three outcrops of limestone, one of which is 

 said to be traceable at intervals for i mile in a south-west direction. 

 Eventually this limestone should prove of great value for building pur- 

 poses, and also for fertilizing the land. The locality is about forty (40) 

 miles northward from the Heyfield railway station.

 adjacent bores, the limestone beds were cut at a much shallower depth. 



Economic. — An analysis of a sample of limestone from Netherby was

(24) Deutgam (Werribee District). 



Locality. — At a point 160 feet east of the north-west corner of allot- 

 ment J3, section HI., parish of Deutgram, county of Grant, in Bore Xo. 4, 

 which was put down under Government supervision in the year 1902. 



Occurrence. — At a depth of forty-eight (48) feet from the surface large 

 deposits of limestone were met with, and were as follows: — 48 feet to 

 70 feet limestone and calcareous clay, 90 feet to 270 feet fossiliferous 

 limestone, &c., and other beds at various depths, down to 606 ft. 5 in., 

 where the bore was di-scontinued. 



Economic. — These deposits are near the \Verril:)ee railway Ihie, and 

 the bore only 4 miles south-east of that station. There are no depart- 

 mental analyses of these denosits.
