Abstract

In the immediate vicinity of Launceston, and scattered over
the westward plains, are to be seen vast accumulations of
water-worn gravel, lying here and there in pockets, but
principally arranged in horizontal layers from 1 to 3 feet
thick, and associated with clays and tuffs, more or less
laminated.
