tion of Angahook. We examined the railway cuttings 
between Dean’s Marsh and Birregurra for signs of Marine 
life, but failed to find the slightest trace of either fossil shells 
or coral, but beneath the basalt, in the neighborhood of 
Birregurra, in the side of what we took to be the river or lake, 
previously referred to, the bank is about eighty feet from the 
crown of the hill; there is a fine deposit of tertiary shells of 
what we took to be belonging to the upper Eocene, 
from the few brachapodgs to be found, and the fact that some 
of the shells seem to closely resemble existing shells that are 
found in tropical seas; from this deposit we took the following:

The Coral fonnd belonged to that known as belonging to the genus 
Flabellum and Placotrochius. 
It appears that the climate at that time was a great deal 
better than at present, from the fact that a great many shells 
found there are only to be obtained now in the tropics.
