ered. Mr. Forrest says : The quarry in which the fossil fish was 

 found is at Golden Grove situated at about three-quarters to one 

 mile south of St. John or three quarter mile W. S. W. of Drew- 

 hill or Belmont Estate. It is in the central plain and is not a 

 calcareous formation. To the central plain belong also the beds 

 of chert with land and freshwater shells and silicified fossil woods 

 and beds of fine grained sandstone with leaf impressions." 



The nearest relations of this fossil fish are found in the 

 eocene of Europe (Monte Bolca, etc.) and living in the Pacific 

 and Indian Seas.

 able to make a second visit to the Springvale Quarry and also 

 have a general look at the country in the neighbourhood which I 

 had not seen for some years. This enabled me to gain some ad- 

 ditional information of importance in settling the position, &c. 

 of the Springvale Shellbed. Indeed, I found that the bed named 

 was really an outcrop of the same series as that discovered by the 

 late Eouis Alexander Leroy, the fossils from which I have al- 

 ready described and named. Mr. Morris took me to the Quarry 

 where I found that the later excavations had revealed the thick- 

 ness dip and position of the Shellbed. It was apparent^ from 

 three to four feet thick. The dip was about 30 degrees to the N. 

 W. The Shellbed lay conformably upon which I might call a 

 mudbed ; a stratum of impure claj^ with comminuted shells. 

 These observations bring the Springvale Shellbed into line with
