Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
I am indebted to the Rev. Robert Connell for some very interesting Coleopterous remains in black lignite from the south end of Cordova Bay, Victoria. The deposit is overlain by about 180 feet of clay, sand, and gravel, the Cordova sands and gravels and Maywood clays constituting the Puyallup interglacial deposits, with Vashon drift above. Of the Puyallup deposits the Maywood clays are the older, and in them is the lignite bed with marine shells in the overlying clay and finely stratified whitish clay underlying it. The lignite contains pieces of wood, seeds, and other plant remains.
