the blackboard the general relative positions of the rocks in 
the Mount Lofty and Flinders Ranges, Mr. Howchin said he 
had ascertained that the formations, as shown in the section 
from Marino to Mount Lofty, were found generally in the 
same order in the Flinders Ranges, as far as examined. The 
series occupied the same relative position over the whole 
area. The highest member of the series, the purple slates, 
which included the archeocyathine limestones, occupied a 
superior position to the older glacial beds. The fossil remains 
in the limestone gave a datum for the whole formation. Mr. 
Howchin also described the geological features of Mount Re- 
markable, and explained how, in all probability, it came to 
possess so singular an outline. W. G. Wootnoven, D.Sc., 
remarked that Mr. Howchin's discoveries would form the basis 
of future geological and mineralogical work. Professor ХУ. 
Н. Brace, M.A., then gave an interesting account of his 
visit to New Zealand on the occasion of the meeting of the 
Australian Association for the Advancement of Science, held 
at Dunedin in January last. He mentioned, in the course 
of his address, that, owing to the meeting of the Medical 
Congress in Adelaide, in September, 1905, the meeting of 
the Australian Association for the Advancement of Science 
had been put off for a year. Professor BRAGG also stated that 
his nomination of Professor Baldwin Spencer as the President 
of the meeting in Adelaide was well received, and was pecu- 
liarly appropriate, because much of Professor Spencer's work 
had been done in South Australia.
