Abstract

The general geological features of much of this area have been touched upon by Howchin (1926) and the same author has given an account in considerable detail of the Late-Palaeozoic glacial features there so illustrated. There are several publications relating to the igneous intrusions of the neighbourhood of Encounter Bay, chief of which is that by Browne (1920). The object of the present undertaking has been to complete a general geological examination of the region with special regard for the problem of the continuity of the sedimentary formation based on the Grey Spur conglomerate and extending to the south-east in somewhat broken outcrops to the coast.
