At Mount Wyatt, near the head of the Sellheim Eiyer, the late Mr. E. Daintree 
Dserved “ slightly inclined grits and sandstones of the Upper Devonian Lepiclodenclron 
®ds, resting on the upturned edges of a series of blue and grey slates and shales,” 
^^lich have yielded fossils determined by Prof. McCoy, and referred by him to the 
^Pper Silurian.* The fossils from the “ slightly inclined grits and sandstones of the 
^Pper Devouiau Lepidodendron Beds,” as determined by Mr. W. Carruthors, P.E.S., 
®'^d revised by my Colleague, from this locality, are Lepidodendron australe, McCoy, 
®'^d Gyolostigma, sp. ind. 
Prom Canoona, near Eocldiampton, Mr. Daintree also obtained Lepido- 
'^^ndron australe, McCoy, and Gydostigma, sp., Peist., allied to G. Kiliorleense.f 
“6 former may, as has already been scon, belong to the Eockhampton (Gympie) 
-“eds. 
Mr. Daintree also refers J to the Broken Eiver as one of the localities from 
leh he obtained Lepidodendron australe, McCoy. It may be surmised the Lepidoden- 
^on Beds occur in a horizon equivalent to that of the Star Beds, and separable from 
® strata -which have yielded the Corals described by Prof. H. A. Nicholson and my 
0 league (Burdekin Beds). 
, „ In the valley of Machine Creek, on the eastern side of the quartzites and shales 
Undetermined age) which, together with intrusive diorites, form the country-rock of 
auriferous reefs of Commissioner’s Hill, a considerable thickness of conglomerates 
S^its and greenish-grey and purple sandstones and shales are met with, the sand- 
tlie 
and 
°Ues containing Lepidodendron australe, McCoy. These beds are seen in two places 
to 
^6 first south of the Gilborton Township, and tlio second at the head of Star Gully — 
els quartzites and shales unconforniably, but are faulted against them 
®®where, so far as the boundary has been traced. There can be little doubt that these 
belong to the Star Pormation.
