364 EVIDENCES OF EXTENSIVE GLACIER ACTION AT MT. KOSCIUSKO. 



therefore merely record them, without being able to comment 

 upon their more 'minute nature. 



The localities I allude to are : the grassy flats of the Mowamba 

 Valley; the plain near Berridale* ; the flats near Adaminaby, 

 more particularly when the road from Cooma is taken, vid 

 Middlingbank ; and in several places on the road from Cooma 

 to Bombala, vid Nimitybelle. 



The Monaro district is to a great extent undulating country, 

 traversed by several of the more prominent offshoots of the 

 Australian Alps, and abounding everywhere in more or less 

 extensive plains. On many of these lakes are found of various 

 dimensions, mostly of a circular shape, the larger of which carry 

 water permanently, whilst the smaller generally dry up during 

 protracted rainless seasons. 



Although time did not permit me to make closer observations, 

 from what I saw during my flying passage over the places 

 mentioned I was much impressed with their appearance, and the 

 opinion gained ground in me that some of the features noticed 

 might be the means of proving a more extensive glaciation than 

 undoubtedly existed on the Kosciusko Plateau. 



Regarding certain names on the highest ranges some differences 

 exist between the geographers that first named the heights, &c., 

 and the application of these names by later visitors. To obviate 

 further mistakes I have attached the initials of the authorities to 

 the names on the map : a new departure in map-making, but 

 necessitated on account of the existing confusion. 



* A remarkable conglomerate formation occurs in a place near the 

 Cooma-Berridale road not far from a lake, which, like all the other 

 features, received only a passing glance from me.
