With regard to Australia there are a few remarks (p. 35). The 
Salt Range boulder bed contained such marine Palaeozoic fossils as are accord- 
ing to Dr. Waagen, found in the marine beds* below the Newcastle coal beds, 
and thus the same correlation would also refer to the Talchir conglomerate. 
This would be, therefore, about the same correlation as Mr. Oldham, in his 
above paper, established for the marine beds and the Bacchus Marsh con- 
glomerate, and through this with the Talchir boulder beds. But it was not 
until this year (18S7) that the above relations in the Salt Range were fully 
established, as I shall show hereafter. 
(62.) 1886. Blanford (W. T.) On Additional Evidence of the Occurrence of Glacial Con- 
ditions in the Palaeozoic Era, and on the Geological Age of the Beds containing Plants 
of the Mesozoic Type in India and Australia. Quart. Joum. Grot. Soc., 1886, Vul. XLIL , pp. 
249, Src. 
This paper has been written especially in consequence of the various 
discoveries made since Mr. Blanford had an opportunity to deliver his 
address before the British Association. 
I shall refer to the comparative table (p. 219) only ; Mr. Blanford 
correlates as follows : — 
South Africa. India. 
Stormberg beds Upper Gondwanas 
(various groups). 
Beaufort ... Panchet 
lvoonap ... Damuda 
Karharbari 
Ecca (glacial) ... Talchir... 
Australia. 
Upper plant beds of Queensland, <fcc. 
... Wianamatta and Hawkesbury (glacial). 
... Newcastle. 
Upper Marine beds (glacial). 
... Stony Creek beds. 
Lower Marine beds (glacial). 
This correlation is, as can be guessed from the foregoing, not quite 
correct. I may at once remind of the circumstance that the Panchet 
and Damuda form one series, and the Karharbari and Talchir beds another, 
so that the real correlation would be : Panchet-Damuda = Wianamatta- 
Hawkesbury ; and Karharbari-Talchir = Newcastle-Marine beds ; and in 
the same way it is with Africa. 
Besides this, I would point to one circumstance especially. Mr. 
Blanford writes (p. 253) : — “ The Australian marine Carboniferous beds 
have usually been considered of Mountain Limestone age ; but I learn 
from Dr. Waagen, who has made a special study of the Carboniferous 
* h 1- Waagen used the expression of Mr. Blanford, saying, “Lower Coal Measures with marine layers 
interstratified,” which, as I mentioned before, is not correct.
