Despite, therefore, the clearness of Moores description, theliterature on the glacial geology of Tasmania led me, in 1900, toaccept Johnstons conclusion that the last Tasmanian glaciation waslimited to high levels, and that the reported low-levelglacial deposits were either Upper Palaeozoic in age.or not glacial. In the railway-journey across North-Western Tasmania, fromEmu Bay to Macquarie Harbour, I saw two conglomerates, whichstruck me as resembling glacial deposits ; but I had no opportunityof examining them, and, as the train climbed slowly up to Queens-town, I saw many coarse gravels containing quartz-boulders, so 1 Proc.

Absorbed in the interesting problems of the Mount-Lyellmining-field, I had dismissed glacial questions from my mind,especially as I found only talus-boulders at the old mine-workings,where Moore had described a moraine. I was therefore led toaccept the view of Officer, Balfour, and Hogg, that Moore had mis-taken coarse talus for glacial deposits. I was according surprised,when having occasion to cross the hill on which Gormanston issituated, to find on its western face some beds of tough, fine, well-bedded glacial clays, with ice-scratched boulders. Above thisdeposit were beds of typical boulder-clay. One of the boulders inthe bedded clay was a foot long, aud was standing on its edge ; ithad compressed the layers below it, and had evidently fallen throughwater from floating ice ; near it were a few scratched stones. Theboulder-clays, moreover, were clearly of recen
