from tlie evidence of glacial conditions, arc either neutral or support it, we 
may conclude that the carboniferous marine beds of New South Wales* are 
the most probable equivalents of the Bacchus Marsh beds of Victoria, and 
hence of the Talcliir beds of India.”

The necessary notes referring to Victoria arc on pp. 55-51). 
In a supplement to the above I have shown how the most recent 
discoveries establish a correlation of a certain conglomerate bed in the Salt 
Range in India, which is of Upper Carboniferous age, with the Talcliir Con- 
glomerate and, consequently, also with the analogous beds in Victoria and 
New South Wales. 
Besides the above, also, my other various works on the Indian 
Gondwana flora, and those previously published on the Australian flora, 
should be referred to here, because they also contain notes on Victoria ; they 
were quoted under the heading “ New South Wales,” under Nos. 41, 43, 4S, 
49, 71. Also the various papers of Tenison Woods. 
Summary Review of I lie Plant-bearing Strata in Victoria 
and their Age. 
The various strata containing fossil plants will, from the foregoing 
literature, show in ascending order the following sequence, when at the same 
time their fossils will be enumerated, and wdien also the necessary remarks 
about their age and correlation will be made. I begin with the Devonian 
rocks : — 
1. Iguana Creek Reds, Gippsland. — From these Prof. M £ Coy (Prodr. 
Pal. Viet., Dec. IV) described the following fossils : — 
Arclidiopteris Howiiti, M‘Coy, 5 
Splienopteris iguanensis, M‘Coy, [-Olive flags of Iguana Creek. 
Corclaites australis, VP Coy, ) 
Age — Upper Devonian. 
* [There are two marine groups in the Permo-Carboniferous Scries of New South Wales. It is presumed 
that Mr. Oldham here refers to the upper, but this could hardly be gathered from so very vague a statement as 
the above. — R.E., jnr.]
