Bibliography of The Reverend W.B. Clarke (1798-1878)
M.K. Organ
Abstract. Throughout his lifetime, the Rev. W.B. Clarke was a prolific writer of letters and articles for publication on a variety of topics, including geology, meteorology, astronomy, natural history, zoology, theology, literature, Australian exploration, politics, and various miscellany. Previous bibliographies such as Etheridge and Jack (1881) have listed approximately 150 works by Clarke, and upon such information analyses of his role in the history of Australian science have been made. Such lists mostly excluded his substantial collection of published writings which appeared in local newspapers and overseas journals. The present bibliography redresses these omissions, listing some 837 works, of which 545 are by Clarke. This revelation of the quantity, and variety, of his published work highlights the significant part he played in the promotion of science in colonial New South Wales.

Brittle deformation of the Bathurst Batholith: a coeval behaviour with megakinking in the Lachlan Fold Belt, southeastern New South Wales
Kazoo Kosaka
Abstract. The Bathurst Batholith is a post-kinematic granitic body in the northeastern Lachlan Fold Belt, west of Sydney. A survey of weathered granites in limited outcrops leads to the conclusion that the Bathurst Batholith has been penetratively deformed in a brittle manner. Typical deformation structures are subparallel joint/fault sets and fault gouges, which trend dominantly NNW to NE. Conjugate faults and feather fractures indicate north-south shortening. These brittle deformation structures can be interpreted as related to post-kinematic deformation during late Palaeozoic time, possibly including megakinking, in the Lachlan Fold Belt.

Fossils Fuels and the Fall from Grace of St Mary's Purgatory Stone
Kenneth W. Riley
Abstract. St Mary's Cathedral is used to illustrate the general deterioration of the stonework of Sydney 19th Century buildings. This deterioration is associated with the presence of sulfate salts in which the sulfur has a range of isotopic compositions similar to that of the sulphur in the Permian coals, which were used extensively in the city. This past use means that levels of particulate matter and sulfur dioxide in the city's atmosphere were higher than at present and over the decades, the sulfur dioxide has reacted with the external surfaces of the sanstone buildings and contributed to the decay. The past elevated levels of atmosphere pollutants from fossils fuels combustion appear also to have had some effect on the formations of fogs. In recent times, with the decrease in these pollutants, there has been a correpsonding decrease in the occurrence of fogs in Sydney.
