Extract

In the Geological Magazine for 1884 some Mesozoic fossils, obtained from near Mount Hamilton and the Peak Station, were noticed by me with figures and descriptions where the specimens were fairly well preserved. Since then additional specimens have been procured from adjoining districts. The general character of the facies is fairly similar to that already noticed in 1884; but on the whole, perhaps, the specimens are scarcely so well preserved. Since then additional specimens have been procured from adjoining districts. The general character of the facies is fairly similar to that already noticed in 1884; but on the whole, perhaps, the specimens are scarcely so well preserved. According to the opinion of those who have had most experience, these fossils may be regarded as of “Cretaceo-Jurassic” age, though I am not aware tliat such undoubted Cretaceous forms as Ancyloceras, etc., have been discovered in the beds whence the fossils forming the subject of these notes have been derived.

page 242 note 2 The fossils described in this paper form part of a small collection of geological specimens which was exhibited in the South Australian Court of the Colonial Exhibition in 1886, aud subsequently presented by Henry Y. Lyell Brown, Esq., F.G.S., Government Geologist for South Australia, to the Trustees of the British Museum (Natural History). They have now been figured and described at the request of Mr. H. T. Lyell Brown. The collection comprises in addition, some Tertiary Plant-remains, some Tertiary Mollusca, and some Palæozoic Corals and fragments of Trilobites; the latter are from Yorke's Peninsula, and it is hoped that these will shortly be described with the kind assistance of Dr. G. J. Hinde, F.G.S., and other palaeontologists. — Edit. Geol. Mag.
