102 The Queensland Naturalist 
March 1948 
rocks of the Nangram area are shales of the Blythesdale 
Series (basal Cretaceous), rich in fossil plants. The 
nearest outcrop of fossiliferous Permian is at Cracow- — 
some 130 miles distant to the north; while the nearest 
exposure of the Tembo Series is near Tambo itself — 280 
miles away to the north-west. Both specimens were poor, 
insignificant things; and yet they seem to have been 
carried for long distances, and the inference is that 
they were carried by the black men. 
1 am grateful to Mr. .T, M. Clift, who drew my 
attention to these fossils; and to his brother, Mr. .T. A. 
Clift, who showed me the occurrences at the lagoon, The 
purpose of this note is to invite comments from others 
who have lecords of similar collecting habits by the 
black men, or who may have seen references to these 
habits in literature that I have missed.
