 Divisions of the Kditwzoic. — It is convenient to divide the Australian 

 Tertiary system into four or five main series, using the local terms 

 suggested by Hall and Pritchard. In ascending order, these, according 

 to the writer, are: (1) Balcombian, (2) Janjukian, (3) Kalimnan, 

 (4) Werrikooian. Above these comes the Pleistocene Series, referred 

 by many geologists elsewhere to a separate system, the Quaternary, 

 These divisions, broadly speaking, correspond with: (1) Oligocene, 



(2) Miocene, (3) Lower Pliocene, (4) Upper Pliocene. 



The present writer maintains that, giving due allowance to time 

 discrepancies in regard to the factor of distribution of life-forms over 

 wide areas, guide fossils are probably as important in dividing and
