round the flanks of the main

dale. I believe that many of the 
gold drifts hitherto regarded as Plio- 
cene may eventually have to ho 
classified as Miocene. 
The following are the principal 
Miocene fossils figured and described by Professor McCoy in 
his Prodromus of Victorian Paleontology : — 
Mammalia. — Squalodon Wilkin soni (McCoy); Cetotolites (ear- 
bones of whales) Leggei (McCoy) ; Cetotolites Pricei (McCoy) ; 
Cetotolites Nelsoni (McCoy). 
a Older Volcanic, b Siliceous con- 
glomerates, clays, and gravels 
(Miocene), c Silurian.
