First edition. This work records the findings of the Imperial Geophysical Experimental Survey, which experimented with a number of surveying techniques in various areas throughout Australia; as Sir David Rivett (the Chairman of the Australian Geophysical Executive Committee) states in his preface, 'The object was not to prospect for minerals but to test the applicability of various geophysical methods under field conditions in Australia which, it was considered, might be regarded as fairly characteristic of considerable portions of the British Empire'.
