Notes on the glacial beds of Freestone- Bluff (sandy cove) near Wynyard. (pl. ix., x., xl, xii.).

The first description of the geological features of the coast near Wynyard was given forty years ago by Mr. T. Stephens in a paper read before this Society entitled: "Remarks on the Geological Structure of Part of North, Coast of Tasmania, with special reference to the Tertiary Marine Beds near Table Cape." Proceed. Roy. Soc. Tas., 1869, pag. 17.
Mr. Stephens was therefore the first to recognise the glacial origin of the "conglomerate" near Wynyard, and he considers these beds to be of carboniferous age.
Twenty years later Mr. R. M. Johnston published his Geology of Tasmania.
