fragments, and occasionally whole marine shells such as the 
stronger limpets (Patella ), earshells (Haliotis) and periwinkles 
(Turbo), the strong operculum of the latter genus being ex- 
ceedingly common at some localities. Of the land shells, I 
have obtained examples of a species of Helix, or more 
probably it belongs to a subdivision of that genus, from the 
Bluff at Barwon Heads, and from the coast about a mile to 
the west of the Gellibrand River. 
In conclusion it will be well to mention that sand dunes 
are not restricted to the coast-line, but are very common in 
many inland parts of Australia. In Central Australia, for 
instance, sand dunes cover an extensive area, and not in- 
frequently reach upwards of two hundred feet in height. 
In such regions as these the sand is due to the -break- 
down of pre-existent rocks, SEA by atmospheric or sub- 
ærial agencies.
