Dec. 81, 1909. The Queensland Naturalist. 
During the present month, a report by L. S. Ball, 
Assistant Government Geologist of Queensland, entitled, 
“ Notes on Coal at Mount Mulligan,” a place at the back 
of Cairns, has appeared, and in this the geologist referred 
to narrates a similar occurrence elsewhere {vide Queensland 
Mining Journal, p. 280, 15 VI., 9. He states ; — 
“ A most interesting and important result of the visit 
was the discovery of Glossopteris and Vertebraria in shales 
associated with the coal. Glossopteris has been reported 
(Geology of Queensland— Jack and Etheridge, pp. 518 
and 558) in only one instance from beds believed to be newer 
than Permo-carboniferous in Australia.”
