" Notes on Fubthee Proofs of Glaciation at Low Levels," by 

 Mb. r. h. Moore, F.R.G.8.— After referring to an extract from a 

 letter to _ himself Irom Professor R. V. Lendenfeld, of the University 

 ^zeraowitz, relative to and agreeing with a previous paper on the 

 nrst proofs of land glaciations in Tasmania, the writer said that upon 



ifT 1 f J 1 - 10 " 1 ° f the banks of the Kin ^ River ' vYest Coast o£ Tasmania, 

 •je nad discovered large ice worn boulders, striated and grooved, in the 

 deep gorge of the river situated at the upper landing, and also similar 

 glaciated boulders in Harvey's Creek, at a distance of a quarter of a 

 «"le from its junction with the King Kiver at the landing. The 

 Boulders were large, many tons in weight, and composed principally of 

 Silurian sandstone, and the distinctness of the planed surfaces, grooves, 

 and striae was a conclusive proof that the period of the transposition by 

 the ice was of very recent (comparatively) date. These blocks were at 

 an altitude of not more than 100ft. above the sea level. In the same 

 locality, on the southern bank of ths river, 150ft. above its bed, was a 

 if moraine > composed of rocks brought from the inland mountains, 

 probably at the beginning of our glacial period. During the recent 

 substantial improvements to the Strahan-Lyell-road, a very interesting 

 Phenomenon of the glacial action had been exposed through the ac- 

 cumulation of rubbish and moss being removed from the cuttings and 

 drains of the road. A full description of this phenomenon was given, 

 and as it was accessible on the way to the greatest mine in the 

 island, which many scientists and geologists were sure to visit, it 

 Was to be hoped that more able men than the writer would give their 

 J} e . w ? as to its a g e i origin, and nature. Illustrative specimens from 

 wis last discovery were exhibited.
