A Report was submitted by Professor Skeats, which embodies 

 references to the work of Professor H. C. Ricfiards in South-eastern 

 Queensland, and recorded by him in the Journal of the Royal Society 

 of that State, Vols. 27 and 30. As regards Tasmania, we have a note 

 by Professor Skeats on the age of the alkaline rocks of Port Cygnet, 

 &c., in Jour. Roy. Soc. Vic, Vol. 29. The same author read a note 

 on the tertiary alkaline rocks of Victoria before the British Association 

 at its Melbourne meeting in 1914. Since then he has made a number 

 of additional observations which are detailed. 



It was also decided to re-vote the sum of £50 set aside for the 

 investigation of alkaline rocks and at present unexpended. 



The Glacial Phenomena Committee was re-appointed, with Professor 

 Sir Edgeworth David, K.B.E., D.Sc, F.R.S., as Secretary. The 

 Report of the Committee was adopted. It consisted chiefly of 

 observations by Mr. Loftus Hills, M.Sc, Government Geologist of 

 Tasmania, on Glacial cirques and Moraines in Tasmania, together 

 with " Glacial notes from New Zealand," by Mr. R. Speight, M.A., 

 and brief remarks concerning South Australia by Professor W. Howchin.
