The leaves obtained at Eox and Partridge’s are from a shallow lead 
forming a part of the newer series of leads between the Hose Valley and the 
Red Hill, 2 miles from Emmaville. The matrix is a shaly ironstone, 
reposing in an old valley on the denuded sides of the older and newer basalt, 
perhaps even entirely on the former. The depth of sinking varied from 
30 to 50 feet, the strata passed through being a mixture of volcanic dust, 
clay, and sand. The plant remains were accompanied by those of insects, 
some of the specimens being in a fair state of preservation. The flora of this 
deposit is as follows : —

In the outlying district of Wellington Vale, to the north-east of 
Vegetable Creek, two flows of basalt are known to overlie two corresponding 
leads.* “ Both flows have a meridional trend, and the lava streams probably 
emanated from the stunted lava cones at the north-east end of the parish of 
Wellington Vale. The thickness of the upper sheet near this point cannot 
be less than between 200 and 250 feet, and that of the lower sheet about 100
