Acknowledgments, — Although the writer is responsible 

 for the main portion of the model, nevertheless, he is under 

 a deep obligation to Mr. R. H. Oambage, Mr. Statham and 

 Dr. W. G. Woolnough, for supplying information without 

 which the model could not have been presented satis- 

 factorily. Thus Mr. Oambage supplied the information 

 from which the Nandewar and the Goulburn River areas 

 have been figured, while Mr. Statham furnished accurate 

 sections, prepared for the Public Works Department, deal-

 from the Dorrigo to the Orara River and along that stream, 

 and from Grafton to Glen Innes. Dr. Woolnough also 

 furnished information concerning the Tweed and Richmond 

 areas. 



The writer desires to return cordial thanks to Mr. J. W. 

 Turner, Superintendent of the Sydney Technical College, 

 for the preparation of casts of the model to be supplied 

 to the Departmental Museum, the University and the 

 Federal Meteorologist, and to Mr. A. W. Gullick, the 

 Government Printer, for the block for the plate illustrating 

 the present note.

 of the New England topography, inasmuch as only the

 element being so distorted that there is no opportunity to 

 represent details. Thus the rivers and their main tribu-
