These are probably the most extensive beds of brown coal in the 

 world. The following analyses of lignites from the bore at 

 Boolara are interesting, as showing the increase of carbon with 

 the depth of the deposit : — 



Ne-vvek Pliocene and Pleistocene. 



The whole of the extensive fluviatile deposits overlying the 

 brown coals in the Latrobe Valley, Tarwin, and Lower Bass are 

 classed as above. The driftal beds disclosed in boring at Traralgon 

 belong to this series : —

Drift and boulders 



Rough gravel 



Fine drift
