strike nearly east and west, and dip at about 40 deg. to the south- 
ward. So there is a marked unconformity. The lmestone is 
much metamorphosed, jointed, and spangled with iron pyrites.

The facies of the fcssils differs from that of the Lilydale silu- 
rian, though several forms are common. They comprise, amongst 
others :—Cheirurus sp., Phacops fecundus? or more probably, P. 
latifrons, Athyris cf. obovata, Rhynchonella cf. R. stricklandi, 
(?) Pleurorhynchus or Conocardium, Conularia, Favosites spp., 
Heliolites differing from the Lilydale one, Fenestella sp., Petraia 
sp. The author, with some hesitation, refers the Seville lime- 
stones to lower devonian, or to passage-beds between silurian 
and devonian. 
4_NOTES ON THE ROYAL PARK (MELBOURNE) 
RAILWAY CUTTING. 
By F. E.. Grant, 
[ Abstract. | 
The cutting has been widened by removal of rock from the 
north side, and shows interesting differences from the south side, 
already described by Hall and Pritchard. Silurian :—The nor- 
thern outcrop is 50 ft. long and 6 or 7 ft. high. Older Vol- 
canic:—There is a much greater extent displayed than on the 
south side. The rock is decomposed to clay, and is overlain by 
irregularly-bedded sands, a basaltic boulder being surrounded by 
the sands. Eocene and Miocene Fossiliferous Beds :—The litho- 
logical differences between the eocene and miocene are much more 
marked than on the other side of the cutting. The haematitic 
band (eocene) extends almost the whole length of the cutting, 
and passes underfoot to the east, and is very full of fossils, which 
frequently show littoral or shallow water characters, indicating 
the northern limit of the eocene. The miocene beds are now 
inaccessible on the north side of the cutting.
