from a geological point of view on account of the variety of igneous rocks to be found within its borders. The author shows that the low-lying district east of the Blackall and D'Aguilar Ranges, which is composed essentially of Trias-Jura sandstones belonging to the Ipswich Coalmeasures and Tertiary alluvials, has been subject to oscillatory movements of elevation and depression in late Tertiary times. At present elevation is going on, as evidenced by raised beaches at Point Arkwright and elsewhere along the coast. The D'Aguilar Range north of Woodford is made up of Trias-Jura sandstone, but to the south of this point it consists of highly interesting plutonic and metamorphic rocks belonging in part to the Gympie beds, in part to much older formations. The country to the west of the D'Aguilar Range forms a peneplain with an average elevation of 500 feet. The Blackall Range is shown to consist of basalt capping rhyolites and rhyolitic tuffs, and Trias-Jura sandstones. The Maroochy district was a centre of great volcanic activity, rhyolites, andesites, dacites and basalts, as well as extensive areas of tuff and breccia, being here found.-The botany of Howell (Bora Creek), N.S.W. a tin-granite flora: J. H. Maiden. Howell is situated nineteen miles to the south-east of Inverell. The tin-granite area under consideration extends in a two- or three-mile radius from the township. It lies on the western New England slope, at an elevation of about 2500 feet, and is included in E.9, New England County, of the botanical map to be found in the society's Proceedings for 1901 (p. 766). A list of the plants found so far, about 150 species referable to forty-two natural orders, is given. The locality is especially rich in Acacias, A. neriifolia perhaps being most abundant.
