There is an aggregate outcrop of 12,000 square miles of Permian-Triassic acid igneous rocks inland from Cairns and Townsville, North Queensland. The rocks consist of ignimbrite and rhyolite, which are structurally and magmatically related to three high-level intrusions the Herbert River, Esmeralda, and Elizabeth Creek Granites. This report describes the emplacement of the acid magma in the epizone, and the relationship with the ignimbrites.

This record describes Mesozoic plant fossils collected in 1960 by S. K. Skwarko from thirteen localities in the Northern Territory. The plant fossil localities were closely associated with marine faunal localities and it may shortly be possible to date the plant horizons accurately when determinations of fauna have been made.

Ironstone occurs at a particular horizon within the Lower Proterozoic sediments in the Brooks Creek area of the Northern Territory. East of the Cosmopolitan Howley Mine, preliminary investigation of the ironstone, to assess its value as a source of iron ore, showed a possible reserve of 1000 tons of hematitic material per vertical foot over a length of 1500 feet.
