beforementioncd conglomerates in Victoria, Vow South Wales, Africa, and 
India in the Upper Carboniferous Epoch, and they were all, it appears 
formed by the action of floating ice. By this circumstance the age of the 
next higher beds of the series was approximately indicated. 
I have, besides the above, included for comparison also the coal-bearing 
beds of Tonkin and the various formations between Carboniferous and Cre- 
taceous in Western Afghanistan, Kliorassan, and Turkistan.

Shortly after the publication of my above paper I received the second 
number of “ Records of the Geological Survey of India for 1887,” where 
there is a report by Ur. Warth on his investigations in the western part of 
the Salt Range, which have proved that the boulder bed in the eastern 
portion of the Salt Range below the Olive Group (Cretaceous) is the same as 
in the western portion, and that the whole of them are Paheozoic. This 
conglomerate also shows signs of ice action, and it will, therefore, have to be 
correlated with the Talchir boulder bed. It is also analogous to the con- 
glomerates in the marine beds* below the Newcastle Coal Measures, to the 
conglomerates in the Bacchus Marsh beds, and, consequently, also to the 
Bwyka Conglomerate.

Erom the llawkesbury Sandstone, at Dubbo, the following species were 
determined by Mr. Tcnison Woods : — Sphenopteris crebra, T.-W. ; S. glosso- 
phylla, T.-W. ; Neuroptcris australis, T.-W. ; Thinnfeldia odontopteroides , 
Morr., sp. ; Thinnfeldia media, T.-W. ; Aletliopteris Cur rani, T.-W. ; A. 
concinna, T.-W. ; Merianopteris major, Eeistm. ; Walehia Milneana, T.-W. 
The later additions by Mr. Curran are: — Odontopteris macropliylla, T.-W.; 
Aletliopteris australis, Morris, sp. ; Hymenophyllites dubia, T.-W. f 
In my list of localities these fossils are quoted under Ballinore Coal- 
field and Talbragar Mines.
