 Terebratula and Spatangus Forbesii. This limestone appears to rest slightly unconformably on the underlying calcareous clays; for where a section of both is obtained, the former is seen filling up small hollows worn out in the upper beds of the latter. About a mile west of Curdie's Inlet the clay-beds again appear, and rise at a low angle to the west for a short distance, when they gently undulate, until within a few miles of Warrnambool, 'when they again disappear at sea-level, and the cliffs to the west become entirely occupied by the Postpliocene calcareous sandstone.

" On Curdie's Creek, about ten miles south of Camperdown, we find calcareous clays and limestones similar to those seen along the coast ; they contain a few fossils, and are seen passing under the basalt. It is very evident that this formation is continuous, southward, to the coast, with the higher portions of the intervening hills, covered more or less with Pliocene red sandy clay, and concretionary sandy ironstone. This information I obtained from Mr. Scott, District Surveyor, and Dr. Curdie, of Camperdown, who kindly showed me specimens of fossils, &c, collected by them during their tours across this country to the coast."
