Summary and conclusion

The following is a very brief summary of the results of my investigation of the problems here dealt with:—

(1) The limestone is Carboniferous or Permo-Carboniferous or more probably both.

(2) All the limestone belongs to one continuous phase of deposition.

(3) The “Schist Series” is above the limestone, and is of Triassic age.

(4) The western boundary of the limestone is a great fault or system of faults.

(5) The thickness of the limestone is indeterminable, but is probably to be measured by thousands of feet.

(6) The limestone hills are due to overfolding from the west, modified by block-faulting and denudation.
