Victorian Fossil'i, Part XXIV. 1$ 



lies 20 miles to the N.W. The probable age of the Redruth iron- 

 stone was, in my original description, put down as Miocene, but 

 it is possible that it may be of later age. This can only be proved 

 in conjunction with more precise field evidence than we have at 

 present. 



Occurrence. — In an ironstone bed, three feet from the surface,, 

 at Carapook, N.W. of Casterton. Presented by Mr. James S. 

 Macpherson. 



Age. — Probably Pleistocene. 



Previous records of Fossil remains of Emtdura macquariae. — 



R. Lydekker has recorded^ two fragmentary specimens of the- 

 above species from the collection at the British Museum (Natural 

 History), London. One of these is '' An imperfect eighth marginal 

 bone of the right side, belonging either to this or an allied species.'' 

 Its locality is doubtful, but '' apparently from the Pleistocene cave- 

 deposits of New South Wales. 



The other is *' An imperfect right tenth marginal, probably- 

 referable to the same species as the preceding; from the Pleistocene- 

 cave-deposits of the Wellington Valley, New South Wales. This 

 specimen appears to include part of the eighth costal."
