This Tertiary Flora stands nearer to the present flora of Australia than 
does the Fossil Flora of Dalton. The species arc mostly analogous to Miocene 
species, and hence I conclude, that the Travertin strata of Hobart Town belong 
to the Miocene Formation. 
(c) Tertiary Strata in Victoria. 
The fossiliferous strata of Nintingbool, Haddon, Tangil, Smytlic’s 
Creek, Eldorado, &c., which furnished the most important material for Baron 
Ferdinand v. Mueller’s Treatises, quoted above, have been referred to the 
Pliocene formation. The many peculiar genera and species which characterise 
the Fossil Flora of these strata do not as yet permit any comparison with the 
flora of the previously quoted Tertiary strata, nor with any other. Some few 
of the genera might he referred to this place in the system, as, for example, 
Spondylostrobus to the Coniferse ; Conchocaryon and Cclyphina to the Pro- 
teaceae; Trematocaryoti to the Verhenaceae; Phymatocaryon and Triccelo- 
canyon to the Sapindaceae. But, as regards the majority, their systematic 
position is still doubtful or undetermined. Two of the species have been 
found also in the strata of the Derwent district, viz., Concholheca turgidci , 
F. v. M., at Bcaconsficld, and Platycoila Sullivcmi, F. v. M., at Geilston ; 
also the genus Penteunc , although as a peculiar species. 
(d.J Later Tertiary Strata in New South Wales. 
The localities of Gulgong, Bathurst, Lumpy Swamp, Richmond Diver, 
and Beneree, in New South Wales, 'whose deposits of fossil plants have been 
made known through the labours of Baron von Mueller, ought likewise to he 
referred to the Pliocene formation. 
These localities are distinguished by several peculiar genera, such as 
Rliytidocaryon, Illicit es, Luersidgca , Oclithodocaryon, Eisothecaryon, Pen- 
tacoila, Acrocoila, and JVillcinsonia * One of the species Plcsiocapparis 
leptocelyphis , F. v. M., occurs also in the Derwent district, at Geilston and 
Pipeclay Bluff.
