At Spring Hill Central Leads, Victoria,* a bone of a crocodile, 

 probably Pallimnarchiis pollens, identified by C. W. De Vis, was 

 discovered at a depth of 295 feet. This deposit also yielded to 

 Mr. Bale the following diatoms : — Campylodisciis bicostaliis, 

 Surirella kergnelenensis, Epithemia zebra, E. gibba, Synedra 

 nlna, vars., Diatomella Balfouriana, Hantschia amphioxys, 

 Cocconeis placentula, Gomphonema gracile, Pinniilaria dislin- 

 giienda, P. divergens, Navictda lanta, N. cuspidata (craticular 

 form), N. radiosa, var. tenella, Diploneis elliptica, D. major, 

 and (?) ChcBtoceros. The genus Campylodisciis suggests estuarine 

 influence. This diatomaceous deposit links up with the 

 Pleistocene Diatomite found at Talbot, in Victoria, and at 

 Cooma, Barraba, and the Richmond River in New South Wales. 



Prof. Ewart has determined a fragment of fossil wood, found 

 in a mine at Deep Creek, near Daylcsford, at a depth of .500 feet, 

 as agreeing very closely with Acacia mclanoxylon (Blackwood). f 



Redruth Ironstone. — An ironstone, pro])ably of the same age 

 as the Deep Leads, was found at Rixlruth, near Casterton ; 

 it contained an impression of a bird's feather, J along with which 

 are good imprints of Eucalyptus leaves of the E. amygdalina 

 (Narrow-leaved Peppermint) type, and also Banksia leaves, 

 indistinguishable from the living B. viarginala, Cavanilles. 



Fossil Wood in the Bairnsdale Gravels. — A great deal of the 

 old fossil flora of the Miocene and Pliocene forests of Victoria,
