28 and fossil wood about Lynd's range (p. 40); in lat. 25&deg; 10' five parallel ranges striking north and south, and one running east and west are composed of sandstone with impressions of calamites (pp. 53-4); psammite on Zamia creek (p. 61); much basalt about Expedition range (p. 73); fossil fern leaves and pebbles of coal on the M'Kenzie River (p. 105); sandstone and coal shale with beds of coal ditto, (p. 108.) He then mentions sandstone as extending for a considerable distance interrupted by basalt, domite and other igneous rocks, (pp. 119 to 152.) He describes the country north of Isaac's River as a basaltic table-land, along the edge of which a series of domitic cones run S.E. and N.W. to the coast, and from them a nearly horizontal sandstone, locally disturbed by basalt dipping towards the coast, (p. 153.) He then mentions "flint-rock," and pegmatite about the head of the Suttor River, and after that porphyry, gneiss, and talc schist with psammite, sandstone and quartzite, (p. 189.) He then comes on sienite and granite but with puddingstone and limestone again recurring, (p. 191-2.) At the juncture of Cape and Suttor Rivers he enters on a widely spread granitic region (p. 195.)

This granite seems to be the extension of that seen on the coast about Capes Upstart and Cleveland, as Mounts Abbot and Elliott some distance in the interior were also evidently composed of granite.
