is whether these movements were so far concentrated at any time as to 

 produce unconformity. The failure to obtain conclusive evidence may be 

 attributed mainly to the rough bush-clad nature of the country explored,

 Miocene strata are in contact, and where, therefore, important data might 

 have been obtained. Careful examination of a wider area, however, may 

 be expected to yield definite results.
