in direction and amount of 

 dip to the definite Permo- 

 Carboniferous sediments. 

 As already stated, the 

 latter are by no means uni- 

 form in their dip and the 

 divergence between the 

 inclinations of the tuff and 

 the limestones is not so 

 great as the differences 

 found in the dip of the 

 latter. While this slight 

 element of doubt as to the 

 continuity of the section 

 exists with respect to the 

 Moparrabah area, a com- 

 parison with the Manning 

 River formations to be 

 described later, throws the 

 balance of probability 

 strongly in favour of con- 

 formity of the entire series. 

 At the time of my visit 

 Parabel Greek was in 

 heavy flood, so that the 

 measurement of the section 

 could not be continued 

 southwards, but even with- 

 in that portion examined, 

 a very considerable thick- 

 ness of sub-glacial tufface- 

 ous beds is revealed. 



These rocks vary from 

 bluish fine grained flaggy 

 beds to coarse tuffaceous 

 sandstones of a greenish or 

 purplish colour.
