station; while a small outcrop of impure limestone was also noted. At the 
top of the Silurian rocks, there is a space occupied by loose angular, sub- 
angular and waterworn boulders, and pebbles of the underlying rock. 
T his is succeeded by a thin band of conglomerate, which nowhere appears 
to be more than a few feet in thickness. At the surface this band is 
decomposed, and it is not possible to state what the matrix of the rounded 
stones is like. The. band includes polished, striated and facetted stones ; 
also many stones which do not show either polish or striation. 
Pebbles were noted, from J inch up to 18 inches in diameter, of indu¬ 
rated sandstones and grits, quartzites, dense hard fine-grained contact 
rocks, quartz of various colours, lydianite or black chert, jaspers of various 
colours, white to grey felsites, indurated mudstones, siliceous shale and a 
small boulder of granite of moderate grain, not unlike the granite of 
\ anakie, near Wilson's Promontory. . 
The appearance of the included stones in the conglomerate suggests 
that they have been derived from a contact zone between intrusive granite 
and Silurian or Ordovician sedimentary strata. The exact thickness of 
the bed was not ascertained. On strike, it varies, and is nowhere more 
than a very few feet thick. Jurassic rocks occur on the hillside above the 
conglomerate, the nearest bed being a sandstone of moderate grain. Some 
of the rocks may be seen to more advantage in the bed of Chitt Creek. The 
banks of this creek are steep, and there is a small waterfall, where the 
Jurassic rocks are well exposed, but, unfortunately, neither the glacial bed 
nor the Silurian rock shows in the creek. At the waterfall there are 
massive sandstones, normal in grain, a noticeable feature for those near 
the base of the series. As the stream is followed downwards the beds 
become coarser, the lowest noted before the alluvium is reached 
being coarse sandstones and sandy grits, containing quartz pebbles 
up to \ inch in diameter. Another band is a sandstone which contains 
numerous angular and rounded fragments of mudstone and shale. This 
is a conglomerate of local origin, possibly produced by contemporaneous 
erosion, or by the action of ground ice of Jurassic age breaking up a pre¬ 
viously formed bed of Jurassic mudstone or shale, and transporting the 
material a short distance from where it formerly occurred. Such beds of 
conglomerate and breccia occur freely in the coastal sections from Kilcunda 
to Inverloch, and transport by local ground ice appears to offer the best 
explanation of their formation. This was inferred regarding these coastal 
sections before it was known that there was sufficient evidence to establish 
the occurrence of glacial conglomerate in Gippsland. Between Kilcunda 
and San Remo two bouldfers of granite, 3 feet in diameter, occur in sand¬ 
stone, which is in places somewhat conglomeratic. Their occurrence is 
difficult to account for without considering the transporting power of ice. 
These bands of local breccia and conglomerate appear to be basal in 
character. Thev occur very freely along the coastal sections, and more 
rarely in the beds h'gher in the Jurassic formations, but appear to be- rare 
away from the lower beds, of the series. 
At Chitt Creek the glacial conglomerate does not outcrop in the bed 
of the stream. It appears probable that along its strike a change takes 
place, and that in extension it is represented bv the bands of coarse sand, 
grit, breccia and conglomerate there noted. On allotment No. 11, parish 
of Wonga Wonga, which is further west than the limit of the glacial band, 
fragments of grit were seen ; these are apparently on the same horizon as 
the glacial bedl Three miles west of the western limit of the glacial bed, 
the Jurassic basal beds, within a few feet of the Silurian rocks, become 
gritty, and are here apparently conformable to the overlying sandstones. 
These westerly occurrences tend to strengthen the opinion that the glacial
