CARBONIFEROUS AND PERMO-CARBONIFEROUS ROCKS, N.S.W. 329 



D.Sc, b.a., tells us that, in the Tam worth to Bingara district, 

 he finds the series no less than 12000 feet thick, as will be 

 detailed in a forthcoming paper by himself and W. R. 

 Browne, B.Sc, and W. S. Dun in the Proc. of the Linnean 

 Society of New South Wales. 



4. This extraordinary mass of conglomerate etc., is prob- 

 ably to be correlated with the Maroon Conglomerate of 

 Colorado, the Caney Shales with large erratics of Oklahoma, 

 the Pottsville Conglomerate of the Eastern States, U.S.A., 

 and the Millstone Grit Series of Great Britain, the glacial 

 breccias of the St. Etienne coal-field Prance, and the Plotz- 

 leerer Sandstein beneath the Westphalian Coal Measures 

 of Germany. 



5. Downwards the Kuttung Series is sharply bounded at 

 the base of the Wallarobba Conglomerate (a single mass 

 from 1000 to 2000 feet in thickness) by the marine Burindi 

 Series containing Syringothyris, Phillipsia, and a general 

 fauna which indicates an age approximately Middle 

 Mississippian (Osage) of U.S.A., and about the Visean 

 horizon of Belgium and Northern France. 



6. Upwards no sharp or well defined limit can be assigned 

 to the Kuttung Series. Rhacopteris has been traced to 

 within 1300 feet of the topmost bed of tillite, provisionally 

 included in the Kuttung Series, and marine fossils with 

 apparently forms (as yet undescribed) intermediate between 

 Carboniferous and Permo-Carboniferous types, occur within 

 60 feet of the topmost bed of Kuttung tillites. 



7. Higher in the Series typical Permo-Carboniferous 

 marine fossils may be observed associated with Ganga- 

 mopteris, but not with Glossopteris. 



8. (a) In the Seaham and Paterson areas no angular 

 unconformity has been detected between the strata of the 

 Kuttung (tthacopteris) Series and those of the so-called
