The compilation had to be subordinated to my other pressing 
duties as leader. Natural features hitherto unmapped have 
been located by triangulation, and are now shown in their 
true position, The whole has involved extra travel, anxiety, 
and labor, and is cheerfully presented to those whose desire 
it is to have “filled up” the map of Australia. My grateful 
thanks I hereby tender to those scientific members of the 
party who aided me in our hurried ramble through the yet 
unmastered wilds of Central Australia.

Adelaide, March 6th, 1895. 
Dear Sir—-In comphance with your request I send you, 
together with maps, my journal and other records of the 
scientific expedition equipped by you. As defined by your- 
self, the objects of the expedition were :— 
1. The scientific examination of the country from Oodna- 
datta to the Macdonnell Ranges and the collection 
of specimens illustrative of the fauna, flora, and 
geological structure and mineralogical resources of 
that region, and the illustration by photography of 
any remarkable natural features of the country 
traversed. 
2. The securing of photographs of the aborigines in their 
primitive state; the collection of information as to 
their manners, customs, and language; and the 
reproduction by photography of their mural paint- — 
ings in caves and on rocks, &c., &e. 
‘You will notice that these aims were kept well in view 
throughout the journey. Tor facility of reference I have 
appended to my journal a summary, reviewing in the briefest 
possible form the work performed by the party. 
J am, &e.,
