This is an intriguing and detailed account of the Great Barrier Reef Expedition, originally planned to investigate certain biological problems, and dealing with several matters other than the origin of the reef. This article contains new material and views on the nature and origin of low wooded islands and sand cays. Several other problems, which had been occasionally touched upon by earlier writers, have also been elaborated on.
