EXPLANATION OF PLATE. 

 Plate i. 

 'I'raiisfonnalion of drainage from radial to marginal. Above, a scheme 

 of peneplain-rivers, slow in cnrrent, direct in course, reaching the sea 

 S(iuare to the coast. Below, a scheme of marginal drainage, such as is 

 developed on the East Australian coast. Here folds, newly arisen, have 

 interrupted the radials of the previous cycle, aiid forced them to flow along 

 the hollow s. In course of time, the^e folds are destined to be breached by 

 subsequent streams, thus restoring a radial system, though one less perfect 

 than that of the previous cycle.
