A visit of one month was paid by the writer to the North-West Basin and the Fitzroy area of the Desert Basin. It is largely due to the careful planning of the excursions by the Senior Geologists in charge that a coherent picture of the stratigraphical and tectonical conditions was obtained within the comparatively short time at disposal. This note contains a few remarks on the stratigraphy and tectonics of both areas in connection with oil prospects.
