Fig. 1. 

 The geological section, set forth herewith, .represents the 

 Tertiary strata existing in the vicinity of the main shaft sunk 

 by the Murray Coal and Oil Co., which is at the same time the 

 vicinity of Government Bore 25. It is the particular locality 

 where most of our detailed observations were made. In order 

 to better illustrate the average nature of the beds,, a slight 

 generalization has been assumed.
