Extract

Since my former paper on the rocks of the Curlew and Fintona districts was published, I have had an opportunity of more carefully examining these districts. Both are eminently favourable for the theoretical geologist, as in them the rocks are much obscured by drift; however, for a careful and painstaking explorer, there are sufficient sections exposed, to show the geological age of the rocks. The accompanying diagram represents the rocks as they occur in the Curlew Mountains district.
