Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on the Work of the Horn Scientific Expedition to Central Australia, Vol. 3: Geology and Botany
The next division of the mountain system includes the ranges situated within the Ordovician area. Beginning from the north these comprise the quartzite ridge which forms the southern boundary of the pie-cambrian area, and in which are the Heavitree, Emily, Temple Bar, etc., Gaps. This ridge is succeeded on the south by the Waterhouse, James, George Gill, Levi and Chandler Ranges. These ranges consist of a series of parallel ridges of quartzite and sandstone, with a nearly east and west trend, separated by numerous parallel and Often very persistent and regular longitudinal valleys. These valleys are generally very narrow, often less than a mile wide, but sometimes open out, as in the case of the Missionary Plain.
