Abstract

In continuation of the short paper read, last year on the
works then in operation at Cascades, Hobart, and at Tarleton,
I now lay before the Society the records of boring with the
diamond drills, together with a few remarks on the results.
I have, on several occasions, pointed out the extreme improbability
of the discovery of coal in either locality, but
there were many who held a different opinion, and it was
well that the question should be set at rest. -- Part one of this article is at http://eprints.utas.edu.au/15590
