OLDER PLIOCENE—(continued). 
31. FERrRUGINOUS GRIT. 
Main land, south of Sandstone 
Island, Western Port Bay. 
Hard brown ironstone, with included 
quartz pebbles, and hollowed by atmos- 
pheric action. 
32. Brown FERRUGINOUS GRIT. 
Thomson’s, near Hayfield, Gipps- 
land. 
A mixture of coarse and fine angular 
and rounded quartz, cemented by oxide 
of iron. ` 
33. FERRUGINOUS CONGLOMERATE 
(Cement). 
Hills, 44 miles north of Hexham, 
34. Quartz CONGLOMERATE (Ce- 
ment). Map No. 61. 
Moonee Ponds, sheet 1 N.W. 
85. COARSE GRIT. 
` Map No. R (a1). 
Section 10, Will- Will-Rook. 
4 sheet 2 S.W. 
One part of these specimens consists 
of a hard, siliceous quartz rock, and the 
other of quartz grains (granitic), loosely 
connected by ferruginous clay. It 
occurs with Nos, 11 and 22. 
36. “CEMENT.” Map No. Rb 8. 
Sutton Grange, } sheet 13 N.W. 
Very hard quartz conglomerate, crop- 
ping out at the junction of the basalt 
and granite. 
37. CONGLOMERATE. 
Map No. Ru 63. 
Hard Hill. 4 sheet 14 N.W. 
Large pebbles of quartz, sandstone 
and graphic granite, in a loosely adher- 
ent base of very micaceous, coarse 
granitic detritus. The lead of gold has 
been traced in a direction nearly parallel 
to the Nuggetty lead, but keeping on 
the rise above the gully, along which 
the latter runs. It is probably identical 
with the Bradford lead. 
38. CONGLOMERATE. 
Map No. R (a4), 
Section 15, Bulla-bulla. 4 sheet 
7 N.E. 
Pebbles of quartz grit in a fine, white, 
loosely adherent sand. 
39. Ferrucinous CONGLOME- 
RATE or “ CEMENT.” 
Map No. Ra 70. 
Forty-foot Lead. } sheet 14 N.W. 
Large and small pebbles, cemented by 
brown iron-ore. 
40, FERRUGINOUS Quartz CE- 
MENT. Map No. R (a18). 
Section 25, Spring Plains, banks 
of Campaspe River. } sheet 
13 N.E. 
Occurs at the junction of newer 
basalt and Lower Silurian, cropping 
out under the former, and usually con- 
taining gold,
