Here ire find the description of the collection of Queensland fossils, 
which “has been made by Mr. E. L. Jack, P.G.S., P.E.G.S., Government 
Geologist, supplemented by contributions from Mr. J. Smith, of llock- 
hampton, and Mr. W. II. Hands, Assistant Government Geologist,” and 
which was exhibited in the Queensland Court at the Colonial and Indian 
Exhibition, London, 1880. 
Summary Review of the Plant-bearing Strata in Queensland 
and their Age. 
Erom the foregoing literature and from my own comparisons I think 
the following sequence of strata will, perhaps, best answer the natural 
relations : — 
1. Mt. Wyatt Beds. — These agree entirely, in petrograpliical and 
palaeontological respects, with the Goonoo Goonoo beds of New South Wales. 
They contain 
Lepidodendron nothim, Ung. Mt. Wyatt; Canoona; Broken Eiver, 
&c. 
Cyclostigma, sp. (near C. hiltorhense) . Mt. Wyatt. 
Prof. M‘Coy was of opinion that the Lepidodendron of these beds 
might rather be identical with his L. australe from the Lower Carboniferous 
Avon Sandstones, but since the discovery of the Lower Carboniferous flora 
in the sandstones of the Drummond Range at Bobuntungen, which is 
identical with that of the Smith’s Creek beds in N. S. Wales, w r e have, I 
think, every right to suppose that the Mt. Wyatt beds occupy towards those 
at Bobuntungen the same position as the Goonoo Goonoo do towards the 
Smith’s Creek beds in New South Wales, or in other words that they are 
older than Lower Carboniferous.* 
Age — Upper Devonian, or eventually transition beds between Devonian 
and Carboniferous. 
2. Drummond Range Sandstones, Bobuntungen Beds.— These were 
first made known by Mr. Tcnison Woods (see No. 13). Their fossil remains 
* [So little is at present known of the relations of the Lepidodendron beds at Goonoo Goonoo to those in 
the Stroud district, that the order of succession here suggested must be regarded as very provisional. R.E., jun.]
