Excerpt from Catalogue of Works, Papers, Reports, and Maps, on the Geology, Palaeontology, Mineralogy, Mining and Metallurgy, Etc; Of the Australian Continent and Tasmania No one is more cognisant of the many imperfections and omissions than the Compilers. We, however, trust that our readers will look at the references given rather than at those omitted. Many Colonial Reports we have' been quite unable to obtain access to, and some few Periodicals, notably Dicker's Mining Record, published in Melbourne. Could we have consulted the works in question, especially the last named, the value of the Catalogue would have been much increased.
