arc sufficient to show that these beds are to be correlated with those of Smith’s 
Creek, near Stroud, and Port Stephens, in New South Wales. The fossils 
are : — ■ 
Lepidodendron Veltheimianum, Stbg. ; also,""] 
Knorria state of the same, 
Cyclostigma australe, Peistm., j- Bobuntungcn. 
Catamites radiatus, Brgt., 
,, varians, Schloth., J 
It would be interesting if further research would also prove the 
presence of various species of Bhacopteris in these beds in Queensland. 
Age — Lower Carboniferous. 
3. Coal Measures. — This series is, as mentioned in No. 16, divisible 
into three groups,* which, as I suppose, represent the Marine beds, together 
with the Newcastle beds in New South Wales, there being mentioned certain 
marine beds (Carboniferous) wherein Glossopteris is present (Lower Coal 
Measures), aud also an upper or mainly fresh-water series where Glossopteris 
is in abundance (? — Newcastle beds). Of fossil plants there was, however, 
only mentioned : — 
Glossopteris JBroimiana, Brgt. ; Bowen River Coal-field. 
Age — Middle and Upper Carboniferous and Permian. 
4. Carbonaceous Beds or Mesozoic Coal Beds. — These are, as already 
mentioned (under Nos. 10, 11, and 16) especially developed in the southern 
coal-fields near Maryborough, Brisbane, Ipswich, and Talgai on the Conda- 
mine lliver. The following plant fossils are known 
Equisetum rotiferum, T.-W. Walloon Mine, near Ipswich. 
Bhyllotheca carnosa , T.-W. Walloon Mine, near Ipswich. 
Vertebraria equiseti, T.-W. Tivoli Mine, near Ipswich. 
„ toioarrensis, T.-W. Ptosewood, 24 miles west of Rock- 
hampton. 
Sphenopteris elongata , Carruthers. Tivoli Coal-mine, near Ipswich.

Ipswich.
