Abstract:
Abstract. Australia is in wide parts a fairly stable area of the earth-crust. So it is a suitable region for studying the old interglacial high sea-levels. The "raised" beaches of the South-East of South-Australia, the adjoining parts of Victoria and of Tasmania are critically reviewed. The faunas of the old high sea-levels of the Southern Hemisphere were warm, not cold. So they must belong to interglacials, which were contemporaneous on both hemispheres. The importance of the old ocean-levels for stratigraphic purposes is emphasized.
