This is a most complete description of the geological features of the 
province. I shall only refer to those formations which contain plants 
analogous to those from the previous provinces. 
About the Carbonaceous beds we read (p. 288) : — “ Up to the present 
time, within all the area marked on the map as occupied by Carbonaceous 
Mesozoic strata, only the Maryborough beds have yielded fossil remains 
other than plants. On tributaries of the Condamine, Brisbane, and Mary 
Rivers, where numerous coal seams are known to exist, several of which 
have been and are now being worked, these plant remains are of the same 
character.” 
A suite of the Tivoli coal mine fossils were found by Mr. Carrutliers, to 
consist of — 
Pc cop ter is Paint rcei .* 
,, odontopteroides. 
Cardiocarpum australe. 
Cgclopteris cuneata. 
Schizoptcris elongata.\ 
Tceniopteris Paintreei. 
,, gracilis. I 
,, australis. | 
The Palaeozoic follows next. We find written (p. 2S5) : — “ Carboni- 
ferous. — Whilst the affinities of the southern coal-held of Queensland are 
Mesozoic, a northern field, of even larger extent, has a distinct fauna, more 
resembling the Palaeozoic Carboniferous of Europe.” 
“ In the upper portion of the scries the organic remains are chiefly 
confined to plants, the most abundant of which is Glossoptcris, imbedded 
with less numerous specimens of Pecopteris , Sphenopteris, &c.” 
“ In the lower strata, Prod tic ti, Spirferce, &c., of true Carboniferous 
age, are found associated with the above flora, though the plants arc very 
sparingly represented 'and in very imperfect forms.” 
“ The Dawson, Comet, M‘Kenzie, Isaacs, and Bowen Rivers drain this 
Carboniferous area.” 
# There is nothing mentioned of this plant further on, amongst the described species, 
f This is further on described as Sphenopteris. 
J Also these two species are not found again amongst the described ones.
