60 INAUGURAL ADDRESS. 



1845. Strzelecki (" Phys. Description," &c.) expressed the 

 same opinion. 



1849. Dana includes the Sydney sandstone as a component 

 formation of the Carboniferous Series. 



1850. Jukes (Phys. Structure) included the Hawkesbury Series 

 in the Permo-Carboniferous, but separated the Wianamatta shales 

 from the underlying Sydney sandstone. 



1865. Keene (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc, vol. xxr., p. 138) 

 names the upper beds of the Sydney sandstone (=: Wianamatta 

 shales) the " false Coal Measures." 



1867. Clarke (Intercol. Exh. Essays, p. 389) was disposed to 

 transfer the Hawkesbury Series to the Trias. 



1876. McCoy regards the Upper Coal Measures and the over- 

 lying Hawkesbury Series as parts of one great Oolitic Series (Geol. 

 Surv. Victoria, Report 3, pp. 57-59). 



1878. Clarke (" Sed. Formations," p. 66) removes the Hawkes- 

 bury Series from the Carboniferous and refers it to an undefined 

 period of the Mesozoic, but at the same time calls it Supra- 

 Carboniferous. Feistmantel's view of the Triassic Age of the 

 Hawkesbury Series, based on the nature of the flora, was 

 accepted by — 



1880. Wilkinson (Rep. Depart. Mines, X.S.W., for 1S79, 

 p. 216). 



1881. Feistmantel (Proc. Roy. Soc, N.S.W., vol. xiv.. p. 106) 

 correlates the Hawkesbury Series with the Talchir beds of India 

 and the Bacchus Marsh sandstones of Victoria, on account of the 

 glacial phenomena presented by each. A correction made by 

 Wilkinson (Rep Depart. Mines for 1880, p. 241). 



1882. Tenison Woods, J. E. (Joum. Roy. Soc, N.S.W., vol. 

 XVI., pp. 53, &c), holds the opinion " that the Hawkesbury sand- 

 stone is a wind-blown formation." 



1886. Stephens, Prof. (Proc. Lin. Soc, N.S.W., 2nd ser., 

 vol. I., p. 932), refers to the discovery ot' Labyrinthodonts in 

 the Hawkesbury sandstone as accentuating its Triassic age. 



1890. The assigned Triassic age of the Hawkesbury Series 

 gains support from Mr. A. S. Woodward's study of its fish- 

 remains (see his Memoir, Depart. Mines, N.S.W.) 



fhj Carbonaceous Series of Victoria. 

 1828. Hume is the reputed discoverer of the Cape Patterson 

 Coal Series.
