Extract

As Western Australia is attracting considerable notice on account of the recent rich gold discoveries, a short paper upon its geological formations may be of interest.

Regarded as a whole, Western Australia is not an interesting field for geological research, at any rate from a stratigraphical or palasontological point of view, for, with the exception of one or two districts in the north, all the rock-outcrops are either granites, crystalline schists, or volcanic dykes.
