AUSTRALIA'S COASTLINE.
ONE-THIRD UNCHARTED. (Received 10.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, this day. In the course of a lecture, the president of the Royal Society stated that according to a report of the Commonwealth Navigation Department, onethird of the Australian coast remained uncharted in the modern sense of the term. A portion of the north coastal chartings had been but roughly delineated, as they -were left 110 ago by the explorer Flniders. The president added that had the work been done twenty years ago it would have trebly repaid itself by the prevention of wrecks on uncharted rocks during the period.-—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
