Abstract

The widespread range of Pleistocene glacial drifts in
Tasmania was recognised by Charles Gould as early as
1860, and by 1885 R. M. Johnston had recorded their existence
over the whole of the western highlands (Johnston, 1893).
Until l893 no suggestion had been made that there had
been more than one glacial phase in Tasmania, but in the
paper last referred to R. M. Johnston recorded difficulties in
the interpretation of the field evidence, which have since
been used to prove the existence of such separate phases.
