I quote this paper here because it also contains a list of the forma- 
tions in New South Wales, with the indication of their age.

The paper is one of general hearing, referring also to Australian 
and African formations.

Coal-bearing Beds. Records Geol. Survey India, Vol. XIX, Part 1 , pp. 39-47. 
There is a great deal of important matter in this paper. It refers 
both to Victoria and New South Wales, hut also to India. The most 
important portion is the information about the conglomerates, supposed 
to have been formed by ice action, in the beds below the Newcastle beds. 
Mr. C. S. Wilkinson wrote to me a letter, dated Sydney, 29th Sep- 
tember, 1886, about the mentioned discovery, as follows : — cc In the marine 
conglomerate, above the Greta seam of the Lower Coal Measures, my 
Assistant, Mr. T. W. E. David, and Mr. 11. D. Oldham, of India (when 
lie was over here), have found glacial evidences in the form of ice-scratched 
boulders.”

in the Olive Group of the Salt Range. Records Geol. Survey India, Vol. XIX, Part 1, pp. 22-38. 
The chief results of this paper refer to India. It went to show that 
a certain boulder bed in the Salt Range, at the base of the so-called 
Olive Group, and hitherto considered Cretaceous, according to some recently- 
discovered pebbles containing Palaeozoic fossils, had to be considered of 
Palaeozoic age. The mode of formation of this boulder bed recalled very 
strongly the boulder bed of the Talchirs, at the base of the Gondwana 
System, which, therefore, would also be of Palaeozoic age.
