186 TERTIARY ROCKS OF AUSTRALASIA, 



Althougli many earlier references are made respecting 

 the Tertiary marine deposits of Tasmania, their history 

 has only been worked out fully and systematically within 

 the last eleven or twelve years. The Palaeontology of 

 these deposits has been ably investigated and described 

 mainly by the Rev. J. E. Tenison-Woods, Professors 

 Duncan, Busk, and Tate, from collections made in great 

 part by the author within the last fourteen years. In 

 addition to the numerous memoirs communicated to the 

 Royal Society of Tasmania upon the geology and strati- 

 graphy of the various Tertiary marine deposits of Tas- 

 mania, the author has also added somewhat to its 

 Palaeontology — about forty new species of molluscs, de- 

 scribed by him, having been added to the general list. 



The following are the sources from which the greater 

 part of the information may be gained respecting the 

 Geology and Palaeontology of the Tasmanian deposits : —
