A remark- able circumstance in connection with the discovery was the nding of a couple of aboriginal stone tomahnwks in the peat, showing that the work of submergenoe must have taken place within a comparatively recent period. All this evidence, according to Prof. David, points to the fact that there has been, in recent geological d:-ya, `a subsidence of a considerable portion of the New South Wales coastline, amounting to something like a couple of hundred feet. n-n1.:_ )0 L. ..-`....
