After observing the great variance between paleozoologica^ 
and paleobotanical evidence, which extends from the first 
occurrence of glaciation upwards, it is interesting to note the 
recurrence of harmony in the mesozoic beds of the Clarence 
river series. 
Victoria .—Glacial evidence was first reported in Victoria, 
as observed in the Baccus Marsh formation, by Sir R. Dain- 
tree in 1866. 1 This discovery, which was corroborated in the 
following year by Dr. A. R. C. Selwyn, 2 at that time director 
of 'the geological survey of Victoria, and verified by him at 
Baccus Marsh, Darley creek, Wild Duck creek, and many 
other localities, has since received well nigh indisputable con¬ 
firmation from Mr. E. J. Dunn, 3 the same to whom we owe 
much of our knowledge of the geology of South Africa. At the 
base of the observed terranes of Victoria is a sandstone which is 
well exposed at Iguana creek, and which has yielded, according 
to McCoy, one species from each of the genera, Sphenopteris ? 
Aneimites , Archceopteris , and Cordaites. Over this terrane 
lies the Avon River sandstone, with Lepidodendron australe 
McCoy. These two terranes are generally regarded as De¬ 
vonian, though Feistmantel considers the latter as Carbonif¬ 
erous. Above this lies the Baccus Marsh sandstone alluded 
to above. This terrane contains deposits over 100 feet in 
thickness of conglomerates and boulders, often striated and 
facetted, and was the earliest of the terranes, which we are con¬ 
sidering, to be generally accepted as glacial. From the Baccus 
Marsh terrane have come only three species of plants, belong¬ 
ing to the genus Gangamopteris , whose affinities are not yet 
understood. Above the Baccus Marsh terrane, and complet-
