1 This list represents the old trials noted on the working map during the Survey, respecting which no information was forthcoming. It does not profess to be exhaustive, as there have no doubt been many other trials of which there are now no distinct traces. It is intended to illustrate the extent of the exploratory work.

2 Distances given as measured on the 6-inch map; place-names in italics will be found on the 6-inch map, but not on the 1-inch.
