xii ABSTRACT OF PROCEEDINGS. 



account of the series of granitic rocks lying on the westers 

 outskirts of Brisbane. After discussing the place of these 

 rocks in the geological history of Southern Queensland, and 

 showing that they could be closely correlated with the 

 granites of the Stanthorpe and New England Districts, he 

 described some of the more prominent of the many varied 

 rock types to l)e met with in the area. Prof. Eichards, Dr. 

 E. 0. ]\Iarks, 3Iessrs. Bennett, Gurney, and White took part
