277 
sandstones similar to the lenticular beds of grey shale which 
occur in the Hawkesbury sandstone near the coast.” 
The fish have been described by Mr. A. 8. Woodward, of the 
British Museum, in a Memoir, just published by the Geological 
Survey of N.S. Wales, and the opinion therein expressed is that 
the fish are probably of Jurassic, not Triassic, age. 
A reexamination of the stratigraphical evidences by Mr. 
Pittman and Professor David has proved in favor of the con- 
clusions arrived at on paleontological grounds by Mr. Woodward. 
The fish-beds differ lthologically from any known rock in the 
Hawkesbury series; they repose on an eroded surface of the 
Hawkesbury Sandstone, and the uppermost bed contains pebbles 
of that formation. 
The evidence supplied by the fossil plants, as provisionally 
interpreted by Mr. R. Etheridge, jun., implies a correlation with 
the Carbonaceous-series of Victoria and the Ipswich-series of 
Queensland. 
Thus, now for the first time, rocks of Jurassic age are recognised 
in N. 8S. Wales.
