the "Albatross" usurped the name of Vliege Baaij conferred by 

 Tasman in 1644 on an indentation of the coast of the Gulf of 

 Carpentaria.) The AYLEN HILLS were probably named by Pirie 

 after R. Aylen, Sub-Lieutenant of the " Dart" 1 



The CLAUDIE RIVER rises in the heart of the Janet Range, in 

 about 12 40' S., and flows south-eastward into Lloyd Bay. It 

 was discovered by the prospector William Lakeland and named 

 by him after his son Claud. 



In their order from south to north, the eminences of the Janet 

 Range located and named by the officers of the " Paluma " may 

 now be noted. 



Between the left or north-east bank of the Claudie River and 

 Lloyd Bay are DERRY, LINE, DUNE, HAM, LAMOND, SHEA and 

 OGILVIE HILLS. S Within 2 miles of the Claudie River, the head 

 of the Pascoe River runs on a parallel course but in the contrary 

 direction, although lower down it diverges to south, west, north 

 and east, as already mentioned. The space between the two rivers 

 is occupied by NEST HILL, the SOUTH and NORTH PAPS and MOUNT 

 DOBSON. Here the right or western wall of the Pascoe valley 

 forms what is called TOZER RANGE.' This so-called " range " 

 had better be designated for the future as TOZER HEIGHTS, as it 

 is only a small portion of the Janet Range. 



North of Mount Dobson, the ridge called the Tozer Range is 

 prolonged by the so-called NELSON RANGE,* JACKET- JACKEY 

 RANGE B and the GODDARD HILLS.* The two "ranges" must of 

 necessity rank in future as " heights." The Goddard Hills touch 

 the right bank of the Pascoe, and the eastern side of the whole ridge 

 north of Mount Dobson must drain into the lowest reach of the 

 Pascoe River. East of the north-and-south line formed by Nelson 

 Heights, Jackey-Jackey Heights and the Goddard Hills, ar 

 BARRETT 7 and SIMPSON HILLS. Further east, and close to Wey 

 mouth Bay, are the " ROUND BACK HILLS," which may be con- 

 jectured to be vegetated sand-dunes. 



There is every indication that the officers of the " Paluma " 

 who named the eminences of the Janet Range in 1890-3 made 

 northward or southward trip through the heart of the range. Fo:

 1895-8, and Agent-General for Queensland, 1898-1909. 



4 Mr., afterwards Sir Hugh Muir Nelson was Minister for Railways, 1888-90, : 

 Premier, 1893-5. 



6 Jackey-Jackey, an aboriginal, after Kennedy and Carron, the most pro mine 

 member of the Kennedy expedition. 



6 William Goddard, one of the three survivors of the Kennedy expedition. 



7 Barrett was on the " Ariel " in December, 1848, when she went to the relief 

 Carron 's party in Weymouth Bay, and was wounded in the course of the voyage by 

 native who speared him from a canoe at sea.

 Master of the " Freak," which made a search for the papers of the Kennedy expeditioi 

 in May, 1849.
