Abstract
THIS treatise is founded on the author's personal experience in South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. In the first-named country he spent many years, from about 1872 to 1886, when he left for Australia. His knowledge of the geology of these countries, especially in regard to the occurrence of gold, is perhaps unique. It is not quite up-to-date in regard to South Africa; although in the early days Dunn was a pioneer in South African geology, having given the first description of the Pretoria Series under the name of Lydenburg Beds, and the name of Dwyka to the famous glacial conglomerate.
