Excerpt from Transactions and Proceedings and Report of the Royal Society of South Australia, Vol. 7: For 1883-84
I have never advocated with any earnestness that climatic chan s Of high value are due to geological rather than cos mi causes, and in a course Of public lectures, delivered last year at the University, I applied Dr. Croll's hypothesis to the elucidation of certain physiographic peculiarities of Central Australia, which are co-ordinate with the glacial signs in the southern part of the province. I have had long in preparation a r on Climate past and present in its relation to the dismution of animal and vegetable life in Australia, an out line of which formed the basis of the lectures above referred to, but the wish to know by actual Observation the physical features Of the basin Of Lake Eyre has stayed my pen. It is, therefore, with much reluctance that I am forced into this controversy before I am prepared to encompass the questions involved in all their manifold bearings.
