It is also important to notice the occurrence of fossil wood 

 greatly decomposed in this deposit, and occasionally the teeth 

 of two species of shark which had a world-wide distribution 

 during the tertiary period, viz., Lamna elegans, Charcharodon 

 angustidens fAg.Jt 



Of the latter Professor McCoy writes : — " The present 

 species, even as originally restricted by Agassiz, is one of the 

 most abundant and characteristic miocene tertiary fossils of 

 every part of Europe and America in which strata of this age 

 exist, and I recognised it amongst the Australian beds to 

 which T assigned miocene and oligocene with great astonish- 

 ment, from this evidence of its world-wide distribution in the 

 tertiary period." '

 The rock forming the floor upon which the marine deposit 

 at Table Cape has been thrown down is a highly indurated 

 conglomerate. It presents a very irregular outline, and forms
