RELATIONSHIPS OF THE AUSTRALIAN CAINOZOIC SYSTEM. 
The relationship of the Curlewis polyzoal rock to that of the 
Moorabool Valley has already been pointed out. The latter locality 
has yielded a species of Cerithium (C. pritcho,rdi , Harris), which is 
a typical Table Cape fossil. This species also occurs at Mitchell 
River, Bairnsdale, being additional evidence for the correlation of the 
latter series with the Janjukian. Further proof of the relationship 
of the Maude beds to other Janjukian occurrences is furnished by 
the discovery in this Museum collection of Luc/ina planafella, Tate, 
and Modiola pueblensis, Pritchard, in samples of the hard limestone 
beds collected by the Geological Survey of Victoria (WTM2). 
The former shell is a Table Cape fossil and the latter occurs at 
Torquay. 
From an examination of the sections along the river-valley 
at Maude below Mr. MacDonald’s house, I was able to gain a 
clear idea of the succession of these beds (Fig. 11), which is as 
follows : — 
At the base is a bed of Ordovician slate, covered by a siliceous 
or quartzose grit, containing impressions of plant stems. This is 
followed by polyzoal rock containing, in places, pebbles of Ordovician 
slate and siliceous sandstone derived from the two underlying beds.

This polyzoal rock corresponds to the specimens marked TM3 
of Wilkinson’s survey of this locality, and occurs about 80 feet above 
the bed of the Moorabool at the spot where I examined it. Lying
