Nos. 3 and i (Fig. 36) are exposed- in the Werribee not far from 

 the western, end of " The Island." The deep, present valley of the 

 Werribee has here cut completely through the old valley, and the 

 section exposed is similar in nature to Nos. 1 and 2, as are all the 

 others as far as is known. Near section 3 a small tributary 

 entered the ancient stream on the right bank.

Fig. 36. — Plan to show locations of the various exposed sections of 

 the " Pre-basaltic Werribee," as detailed in the context. With 

 acknowledgments to C. C. Brittlebank. 



Nos. 5 and 6 are exposed in a deep little valley called Rabbit 

 Gully, and are likewise in granodiorite. Nos. 7 and 8, exposed in 

 the valley of the present Myrniong, are not quite so clearly shown 

 as the others described, but are neveitheless quite definite. The sec- 

 tions mentioned may be clearly linked up from an inspection of 

 the surface distribution of the basalt, and the reconstruction is 

 shown by arrows in Fig. 36. From its proximity to the present 

 Werribee valley we ra,ay call this the " ancient Werril:)ee."
