EXPLANATION OF PLATES. 



PLATE II. 



View of Swanport, looking south, from the southern end of 

 the swamp, which is seen in the foreground. The cutting from 

 which the bones were obtained is shown in the distance between 

 two eucalyptus trees, and just to the right of Mr. Bott's house. 

 The surface of the sandbank is seen rising to the right. The 

 tramway in the foreground was used for the transportation of the 

 soil to form the embankment.
