2, Notes on a Puant- and Iysect-Bep on the Rocky River, New Sourn 
Waters. By Cuartus Moors, F.G.S. 
(Read November 10, 1869 *.) 
[Puats XVIII.] 
Sryce my paper on Mesozoic Australian Geology was written, a lady, 
who had for some time resided in New South Wales, whilst on a 
yisit in Bath, requested me to look at some minerals she had brought 
with her from Australia; and these consisted chiefly of auriferous 
quartz, variegated sandstones, and other specimens most likely to 
attract a lady collector. Amongst them, however, was a block, a 
few inches square, of what was supposed to be coal, which at first 
view looked very much like the Tertiary brown coal of Germany, 
and which Dr. yon Hochstetter, in his account of the Geology of 
New Zealand, has shown to occur extensively in that colony. Its 
examination led me to observe that it was not bituminous, and that 
it was only a piece of chocolate-coloured, micaceous, laminated marl. 
Thinking it possible that it might contain Microzoa, the request 
that I might have it for examination was readily assented to. 
A memorandum on the block of marl indicated that the bed from 
which it came was ten feet thick, and that it was met with in 
sinking a shaft for gold, at a depth of from 100 to 110 feet, on the 
banks of the Rocky River, Sydney Flats.
