Some well-preserved Lower Tertiary shells were also got ina 
well-sinking as far east as Mount Arapiles, a few of which were 
given to me, viz. :— 
Cyprea murraviana Cytherea sub-multistriata 
Voluta anti-cingulata Chione aff. C. cainozoica 
Daphnella sp. Pectunculus mcecoytt 
Clathurella sp. Myodora tenutstrata 
Pleurotoma sp. LEntalis mantelli 
Turritella aldinge. 
At Portland there is an outcrop of a chalky limestone, from 
which, in addition to numerous specimens of Hemiptagus forbesti 
and Magasella compta, 1 have also obtained a cast of Cucullea 
corioensis. Though this rock has yielded so few fossils, it should, 
no doubt, be classed with the Glenelg and Apsley strata. 
Before concluding my remarks upon this division of the 
tertiaries, it may not be out of place to advert briefly to the 
interesting fossiliferous formation at Schnapper Point. Numerous 
specimens have been obtained from it, but they have only lately 
been even partially catalogued. In his revision of the Australian 
Tertiary Mollusca, Professor Tate has described 96 fossils from 
this place; but his work, though well advanced, is not yet 
complete, and many more species remain to be dealt with. Ona 
late visit I collected 63 species, additional to those already 
mentioned, making a total of 159 species known to me. They 
include 131 Muddy Creek shells, of which no less than 121 are 
peculiar to the lower zone, while seven others belong to both 
zones. ‘The remaining three are characteristic shells of the upper 
zone, viz., Myodora equilateralis, Johnston; Nucula tumida, 
T. Woods; and Marginella aff. ovulum, Sowerby, of which the 
two last have been found, though very rarely, in the lower also. 
We may conclude, therefore, that the Schnapper Point section is 
nearly, if not exactly, on the horizon of the older beds at Muddy 
Creek.
