This article contains new material and views on the nature and origin of low wooded islands and sand cays. Several other problems, which had been occasionally touched upon by earlier writers, have also been elaborated on. Of particular interest, mention is made of the evidence for uplift along the East Australian Coast, the formation of sand and shingle spits, and the question of cliffing.
