454 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION C. 
found in the north-east of Tasmania. The seams occur under 
similar conditions as regards the containing strata in each case, 
and the fossil ferns also correspond. Now, the Victorian coal 
seams are considered to correspond to those of Queensland and 
the north-east of Tasmania rather than to the older coal seams of 
New South Wales. In the Victorian coal-bearing rocks, Tzeniop- 
terisdaintreei, Zamites, and -Pecopteris have been identified. 
These same fossils abound with the coal seams of the Stormberg, 
South Africa, and are known as occurring in the upper coal 
seams of Queensland. Glossopteris has not been observed in the 
Stormberg beds, and there appears to be an absence of this fossil 
from where Tzniopteris is met with, as well in South Africa as 
in Queensland. ‘Ihe coal of the Victorian seams, however, is 
much higher in quality and less seamed with shaly films than is 
the case with the Stormberg coal seams. 
The series as represented in South Africa is as under :—

The glacial conglomerate corresponding to the Dwyka _ con- 
glomerate of South Africa occurring at a considerable depth 
below the Gippsland coal seams, and perhaps unconformable to 
the beds in which these seams occur. 
If the glacial conglomerates of Victoria correspond with those 
of New South Wales found below the older coal seams, coal- 
measures older than those of South Gippsland may yet be found. 
Thickness. 
At Bacchus Marsh over 100 feet of conglomerate is exposed. 
At Wooragee a shaft was sunk over 100 feet in coarse 
conglomerate without reaching the bottom.
