IV .— QUEENSLAND. 
Mr. B. Dunstan, Government Assistant Geologist, has 
recentiy described some conglomerates containing large 
angular to subangular blocks of rock foreign to the neigh- 
bourhood, and which he considers to be perhaps of glacial 
origin, at Windah, on the Mackenzie River, near Rock- 
hampton, Queensland.* Some of these blocks are several 
tons in weight. Mr. Dunstan considers that this horizon 
belongs to the Gympie Formation (Carboniferous). If this 
deposit is of true glacial origin, and the horizon is as old as 
Gympie, this will prove to be the first record of ice-action in. 
Carboniferous as distinct from Permo-Carboniferous time, if 
we except the reference by Mr. W. H. Rands, then Assistant. 
Government Geologist, to the occurrence of boulders of 
possible glacial origin in the Gympie goldfield of Queens- 
land.+ This Gympie (Carboniferous ?) horizon is to be dis- 
tinguished carefully from the Permo-Carboniferous f¢ 
Mr. R. L. Jack has already recorded boulders considered’ 
to be ice-borne from the Middle Bowen series of Queensland, 
of Permo-Carboniferous age in the sense just defined.§

Evidence of Glaciation wm late Cainozoic time at 
Kosciusko—At the beginning of last year Mr. 
Richard Helms, Mr. E. F. Pittman, and your Secretary. 
visited Kosciusko, with a view to seeking for more definite 
evidence on the subject of ice-action there: Evidence of a 
pouantal kind, but sayouring, a past glee had ee re-

special reference to the occurrence of Anthracitic Coal. Queens-

t This term is here used in the sense in lich it is employed by 
N.S. Wales Geologists, as indicating a period when a Gloss- 
opteris-Gangancopteris Flora flourished in Australia, contem- 
poraneously with a marine fauna of Permo-Carboniferous affini- 
ties.
