R. T. BAKER AND J. NANGLE. 



The Yass-Canberra District. 



As the final selection of a Commonwealth Capital site 

 will probably be made in the southern tableland of this 

 State, a special flying lithic survey was made in order to 

 collect information regarding the resources of this district 

 in building and ornamental stones. The results were 

 beyond expectations, and prove conclusively that in this 

 particular architectural material it is especially rich, as 

 shown below. If such results could be obtained in so short 

 a time working over one area of this State, it certainly 

 demonstrates that in others, where indications are already 

 known, that in the matter of building and ornamental 

 stones New South Wales must be remarkably wealthy. 

 The following are localities from which the respective 

 stones were obtained, full descriptions of which will be 

 given in " Building and Ornamental Stones," Part II, by 

 R. T. Baker. Technological Museum.
