the newer palaeozoics ; the distribution of the upland conglomerates 

 and ferruginous sandstones of the foot hills of the Adelaide Chain, and 

 proofs of their supposed miocene age and fresh-water origin — the same 

 in regard to the " desert sandstones " of the interior ; the correlation of 

 the marine older tertiaries of the various disconnected tracts ; extended 

 observations on glacial signs, and the probable connection of the newer 

 drift deposits with them ; and lastly, accurate measures of recent eleva- 

 tion of the land. 



I must not attempt a history of South Australian geology, but will 

 content myself with a list of the works relating to the subject.
