To illustrate the structure of the country in the neighbourhood of 

 Goonaree described, the following sketch section is subjoined : —

Fig. 19. — Sketch section near Goonaree. 

 1. Black coaly layer in shales with Zamiw. 2. tipper Jurassic sandstones, &o. 3. Ashy heds let in by 

 faults. 3a. The same regularly interstratified. 4. Calcareous band with BelemniteSt &c. 5. Stratified 

 traps. G. Nummulitic l^eds. S. Intrusive trap west of line of section. 



In the stream course, next to the westward of that which passes 



by Goonaree, strong light-coloured sandstones 

 West of Goonaree. . ... - n i • 



of the upper jurassie kind are seen, undulating 



nearly horizontally and at one place in unconformable junction with 



some obliquely laminated and flaggy beds, overlying a blackish and 



reddish damp, waxy-looking shale, banded with purplish white sand, 



and containing a few obscure plant fragments, large leaves, and a little 



resinous matter. 



While this shale bears a close resemblance to some of those between 

 the sub-nummulitic and overlying tertiary beds, — a large fragment of 

 a leaf impression found here being to all appearance identical with those 

 found in the former — the associated coarse light-coloured and red sand- 

 stones and flags are exactly similar in character to the upper jurassie 

 rocks. 



One of the faults to the south by east would seem to strike directly 

 for this place, and on the evidence of the leaf- 

 bearing shale, the beds above it are supposed to 

 be newer than the jurassie rocks, no such leaf fragments having ever 

 been found in them.
