I ought also to add that between the Hawkesbury rocks and the Coal there is often a series of beds belonging to the Coal Measures in which Marine Palaeozoic fossils are stated to have been found. Schimper says (tome, p. 600), of the genus Taeniopteris--' Ces Fouiferes paraissent etre propres au terrain Iwuiller Supfrieur et an J'ermien," i.e., they are Paleozoic. It is only recently that 1 have obtained not only species of the subgenera, but real Tacniopteris from New South Wales, and it is respecting such only that I have written in using the name, in relation to Palaeozoic Carboniferous rocks. In the sections published some years ago by Mr. J. Mackenzie and myself, and in subsequent sections by the former, as given in his Report to Government, it will be seen that the number and thickness of the seams vary considerably in different localities. The former circumstance may be accounted for by the fact that the beds in the Coal Measures since troubled by upheavals, sinkings, and denudation, were deposited over various older formations, some here, some there, which occur at different levels, so that some of the strata are missing in a few of the localities, and all are seldom seen together. Thus the Coal-series at the height of 3,000 feet does not contain so many seams as nearer to the sea level. And, perhaps, in describing them it would be preferable to separate the deposits into various local basins or saucers; though the conditions of a true basin can only be exhibited on the large scale. It is at least certain, that in the Western Districts, though many of the conditions of the Newcastle and Illawarra ...
