The mechanism by which ore-bodies generate electric potentials is imperfectly understood. This Record gives several examples of the results of self potential surveys in Australia; some of the results are consistent with existing theory, but others are not. It is shown that striking variations in both amplitude and form of self-potential anomalies can occur during the wet season in northern Australia.
