The more westwardly and larger of the two consists mainly of 

 sandstone with some fossiliferous shales. It is not certain whether the 

 north boundary is a faulty the south is almost certainly so. It occurs 

 close to Leemdee. 



The little inlier near Wurgam does not extend for above half a mile

Inlier of cretaceous => 



rocks near Wurgam. ^.j-^pg q^^ naturally from beneath the traps ; to the 



north-west it is cut off by a faulty which is parallel, or nearly so^ to the 

 fault cutting off the other patch near Barr, and also to the fault bound- 

 ing the Deva patch of sandstone^ a few miles further south, on the 

 north and south. On the south-east, in the river, trap is seen resting 

 on purplish conglomeritic sandstone, beneath which again is calcareous 

 blue nodular shale or shaley limestone. But 150 or 200 yards further 

 west, the section below detailed is exposed on the south bank of the 



river, all the beds being horizontal : —

the bottom of the last bed not being seen. 



Here the upper 40 feet of white conglomeritic sandstone is inter- 

 calated between the purple sandstone and the trap, the white band having 

 apparently been denuded before the deposition of the traps in the river 

 section. This is one of the instances so constantly occurring of slight 

 unconformity between the traps and the cretaceous beds. In the purple 

 sandstone is a band containing a small species of oyster in great numbers.
