The workmen employed on the excavations now in progress at the West Melbourne swamp have (says the Argus) made some very curious discoveries. We were shown lately by Mr.; Burton, of the Yarra Family Hotel, a gigantic i oyster, measuring 9Ain, x 7(rin., and weighing 41b. sioz., which had been found at a depth of 14ft. embedded m the mud. At the same spot was also unearthed a large egg, at least three times the size of an emu’s egg,'and a quantity of fish bones of very unusual calibre.
