10. STRATIGRAPHICAL NOTES ON OTHER BORINGS THROUGH 
THE CAINOZOIC SERIES EXAMINED IN RELATION TO THE 
PRESENT WORK. 
The Murray Basin, Victoria. 
Mary vale, near Goroke. 
This is a private boring made by Mr. C. W. Chapman, to whom the National 
Museum is indebted for a series of shells from one of the samples (13.1.09) 
The bore was put down at Mary vale, 12 miles south of Goroke. 
Fossils obtained from this bore at about 140 feet indicate a mixture of 
Kalimnan (Lower Pliocene) and Werrikooian (Upper Pliocene) horizons.

It is of interest to note the presence of the gasteropod Ancilla orycta in 
this locality, since it has been previously recorded only from the Bairnsdale 
district, Victoria, and from Aldinga, South Australia. It is absent from the 
Mallee bores. 
mm. No. 51. 1 
The depth of this boring is 1,172 feet. The reduced level of the surface 
of the ground above sea-level is 423 feet, and the reduced level of the bottom 
of the bore is-749 feet. 
Fresh water was struck at a depth of 100 feet from the surface.
