Abstract

The first evidence of the fossiliferous rocks in this part of
the country was obtained by Mr. T. B. Moore, while
engaged in opening up new tracks in this rugged country in
the neighbourhood of the King River in the year 1884. Although the impressions of casts of brachiopods are very
numerous, they are invariably imperfect. Although the impressions of casts of brachiopods are very numerous, they are invariably imperfect.
With respect to the party, 32 in number, organised by Mr.
Chas. Gould, in 1862 and 1863, for the purpose of searching
for gold and other minerals in the vicinity of the King and
Gordon Rivers, it is now of the greatest interest to reproduce
an account of the general results of their labours.
