SYDNEY, This Day. In the course of a lecture the President of the Royal Society stated that, according to a report of the directors of Commonwealth Navigation, one-third of the Australian coast remained uncharted in the modern sense of the term, and in part of the north the coastal chartings had been but roughly delineated, as they were left 110 years ago by the explorer Flinders. Had the work been done twenty years ago, it would. have paid for itself three times over by the prevention of wrecks on uncharted rocks during that period.
