the country. Silica and sodium chloride concentra- 

 tions in these waters are high. They are, in general, 

 reminiscent of waters in Japan. This is not surprising, 

 as both countries are in the temperate zone, surrounded 

 by the sea, and in areas of crustal instability. 



AUSTRALIA 



The composition of Australian waters (tables 53, 54, 

 55, 56, and 57) is extremely varied. In the humid 

 temperate parts of the country, such as Tasmania 

 and the highlands of Victoria, the waters are very 

 dilute, a number of waters containing about 10 ppm 

 of total dissolved solids, excluding silica. The most 

 dilute waters are of the sodium and calcium bicarbo- 

 nate types. In the less dilute waters the total dissolved 

 material is about 100 ppm and chloride approaches or 

 exceeds bicarbonate in importance. 



Most of the available analyses for the surface waters 

 of Australia are from the humid regions of high- 

 population density where surface water is plentiful
