availed himself of an opportunitv for perpetuating, as far as lie 

 could, the name of a friend and companion, to whose inestimable 

 worth he bore most eloquent testimony. A tablet with an inscrip- 

 tion, placed in St. James' Church, Sydney, witnesses to the high 

 esteem in which he was held by those who knew him. A cairn 

 was erected upon Mount Lofty in 1840, in connection with the 

 trigonometrical survey commenced by Colonel Light and carried 

 on by Sergeant Forest. This cairn, which had become a land- 

 mark to seamen in a|iproaching the anchorage in the open road- 

 stead, was replaced in 1865 by an ornamental wooden structure 

 upon precisely the same spot, capable of affording shelter to 

 tourists. This, falling out of repair so that its position could not be 

 identified from a distance, was replaced by the present substantial 

 obelisk, suitable both for an observing station and a landmark for 

 mariners; it was completed in November, 1885. The native 

 name suggests that the aborigines saw in the outline of the range 

 a fanciful resemblcince to a crouching animal, of which this and 

 the smaller hill to the northward formed the ears. Dr. Wyatt. 

 late Protector of Aborigines, gave the name as " Yure Idla," the 

 locality of the ears, whilst, according to the vocabulary by the 

 RcA's. Teichelmami and Schiirmann. it is " Yurre," ears; " Idla," 

 whel]). The little town of Uraidla, nestling among the pastern 

 slopes, preserves in its name the sound and associations of the 

 native words. From the summit may be seen, in clear weather, 

 the Troubridge lighthouse and the eastern shore of Yorke's 

 Peninsula, distant about sixty miles, whilst the obelisk is visible 

 with a telescope from South Hummocks, near Port Wakefield, 

 more than seventy miles away. The elevation of Mount Lofty 

 above low water at Glenelg is 2,:^34ft, ; its latitude and longitude, 

 34° 58' 26" and 138° 42' 23A^" respectively. The approximate 

 figures given by Flinders are such as to afford a striking illustra- 

 tion of the remarkable skill and accurate work of this distinguished 

 navigator, for whom there exists no national memorial, and whose 

 only monument in this land is that erected to his memory at Port 

 Lincoln by Lady Franklin, ivith permission.
