" A gully flowing south-west from the divide, east-south-east of the station, and 
^tout three miles distant from it, another section showing a similar grit or quartzite is 
seen in a cliff which trends north-east and south-west.” 
Near the mouths of the Cape, Suttor, and Sellheim Rivers, a considerable area is 
°ccupie,j by the Star Beds, which cover the greater part of Harvest Home, Lornesleigh, 
‘'■nd Mount McConnell Runs. They rest at their northern boundary on granite, and at 
^ueir southern boundary, near the Sellheim Silver Mines, they are apparently separated 
y a fault from the G-ympie Beds. They appear to be disposed in a basin, the synclinal 
axis of which is a short distance south of Mount McConnell Station. Hear the 
silver-mines they dip to H. W. at angles varying from 40° to 50°. On the northern 
°undary, near Mount McConnell, the lowest beds seen, which form w'hat are known 
as the Devil’s Crags, are white sandstones, hardened but otherwise not much 
a tered, dipping at 75° to E. 15° S. The sandstone resembles lithologically those of 
® Star Beds near Dotswood. Between the Crags and Mount McConnell Station 
Occasional outcrops of stratified rocks, including quartzites, greywackes, flaggy 
sandstones, and shales, are met with, dipping at 40° to S.S.E. The quartzites 
small dark flakes of carbonaccons matter. The greywackes, which are often 
careous, are full of lines of small holes, but I could see no distinct moulds of 
organic remains. On the road from Mount McConnell Station to Lornesleigh, 
miles W'est of the former, I saw a felspathic sandstone full of stems of 
^P^dodendro7i, and another stem covered with circular leaf-scars {Cyclostigma?). 
^iruilar fossils, I am informed, are obtained at Lornesleigh aud Harvest Home. 
^Pidodendron australe, McCoy, has been obtained at Harvest Home by Mr. P. W.

sandstones and shales with plant-remains, including Gyclostigma (?), dip to 
^ud ' miles to east-south-east, felspathic sandstones, shales, 
black quartzose lydian-stone dip to N. at 40°. The sandstones and shales contain 
t-remains. Where the Ravenswood Road crosses the Sellheim River, about three 
maW Silver-Mines, there are some coarse conglomerates with a green
