GLACIAL ACTION—SOUTH AUSTRALIA. 121 
seen embedded in the sandstone, but striated pebbles were picked 
up both on the natural surface of the ground as well as in the 
loose sand of the road cutting, having, to all appearances, been 
weathered out of the sandstone. 
With the road still descending towards the valley, at a short 
distance from the cutting just referred to, a second occurs of 
precisely similar features associated with glaciated stones, and at 
a further distance of a quarter of a mile a stony patch is exposed 
on the northern slopes of the hill in the adjoining paddock, many 
of the stones showing glacial features. 
We descended to the Back Valley Creek to find the bores put 
down in the neighbourhood by the Victor Harbour Coal Company, 
but failed to discover them. The country is cut up into high 
ridges and numerous narrow gullies, and densely covered with 
scrub. The bed of the creek is shallow and much silted, and only 
in two places was the yellow sandstone (? glacial drift) seen in 
outcrop, and these were in conspicuous patches in the bed of the 
creek. 
It is to be regretted that no experienced person seems to have 
examined the material taken from the bores referred to, and the 
only information available as to the strata passed through is 
contained in the log-book kept by the man in charge. The three 
bores seem to have closely resembled each other in the nature of 
the beds penetrated, and we subjoin particulars of No. 3 bore, 
which was the deepest of the three :—
