For many years the writer has been specially interested in the variations apparent in the processes of weathering of rocks under different climatic and physiographic conditions, and has made several attempts to explain such features. Of these published attempts the most detailed took the form of a Presidential Address to the Royal Society of New South Wales in 1927. Certain portions of the argument were repeated in Economic Geology, but the regional aspects of the question were omitted.

True Structure

In presenting, as desired by the Committee, Professor Sollas’s report on the attempts to ascertain, by boring, the structure of the atoll of Funafuti and on other investigations simultaneously undertaken, I avail myself of the opportunity of expressing the gratitude which is felt by its members to our friends in New South Wales, who have given such real and substantial help, especially by the loan of machinery and skilled workmen, in putting the project into execution; and among them chiefly to Professor Anderson Stuart (who has been practically another secretary in Australia), Professor Edgeworth David, Mr. W. H. J. Slee (Chief Inspector of Mines), and Sir Saul Samuel (the Agent-General of the Colony in England). I shall venture also to acknowledge gratefully the services of Captain Field and the officers of H.M.S. "Penguin," and the unstinted labour which has been given by Mr. W. W. Watts, F. G. S., our Secretary in London, in carrying out our plans. In conclusion, may I express, speaking for myself, my earnest hope that another attempt will be made to determine the true structure of an atoll.
