Item is in ORIGINAL Condition, With Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads!!! Notes & Condition: The author's scientific survey features Lake Raeside, Ora Banda, Niagara, Cue, Kanowna, and more, as he examines vegetation, land forms, cliffs, dry lakes and their origins, stream-lake systems, stone fields and desert features. One of the principal objects of Mr. Jutson's paper is to suggest that the lakes as they now exist are not simply portions of old river-valleys, though he agrees that such may have been the beginning of their history. In his opinion the lake-basins are still in process of formation, and owe their origin largely, though not wholly, to the action of the wind, etc. Thought-Provoking Geological Survey of Western Australia Lake-Basins and their Origin! 20 pages, including a full-page sketch map, a few in-text sketch illustrations.
