paringa, a clay in all respects similar to the glacial clays of 

 southern Yorke's Peninsula, rises from beneath the fossili- 

 ferous Eocene beds with a northerly rise. A similar clay 

 underlies the Eocene of Queenstown, Kangaroo Island, re- 

 ferred to by the author in a previous communication. From 

 the apparent absence of erratics in these exposures some hesi- 

 tation has hitherto been felt in referring the beds to the 

 glacial age, but the evidence now available has greatly 

 strengthened this supposition, and makes it almost certain 

 that they belong to the same formation. 



We have no reason to conclude that the extent of the 

 glacial area in South Australia has even yet been fully 

 determined. The limits of the evidence on Yorke's Penin- 

 sula, in a northernly direction, have not been fixed, and it is 

 possible that the ice of a long past age may have left its im- 

 press on the southern portions of Eyre's Peninsula much 

 further to the west. It is in these directions that further 

 investigations should be especially made. 



My acknowledgments are due to Mr. E. H. Matthews, of 

 Yorketown ; Mr. C. S. Keightly, Warooka ; Mr. James Cald- 

 well, junr., Honiton ; and Mr. William Fowler, Yararoo, for 

 information and other facilities by which I was enabled to. 

 utilise the short time at my disposal to the best advantage.
