- W2016621046 abstract "II.—VICTORIA MR. SMYTH must be a shrewd and clever person. He has one of the most difficult tasks to perform- to persuade or cajole a Colonial Government or Assembly which knows nothing and cares still less about anything scientific, to vote money for a scientific object and to take some interest in having that object carried out. Not many years ago Victoria had a regular Geological Survey, equipped at the colony's expense and directed by Mr. Selwyn, who now so ably conducts the great Survey of Canada. For some reason which we have heard variously described, but which seems to have lain to some extent at least in official jealousies and in differences of opinion as to the degree in which geological research as opposed to mere mineral prospecting should guide the progress of work, the Victorian Survey came to an end and its officers were left to seek employment elsewhere. At the same time the Department of Mines in the colony showed great activity in collecting mining and geological information, the prime mover in this being the secretary, Mr. Brough Smyth. When the Geological Survey ceased to exist he seems to have thrown himself more into a geological line. With no little sagacity and tact he gradually organised a less ambitious scheme for having the country geologically surveyed. He obtained the services of one or two members of the previous Geological Survey, and, with a small grant from the legislature, began to make a geological examination of some of the mining districts, and to prepare maps and sections to show their structure, Under the wing of the Mining Department he evidently could do a good deal without placing a formal vote for a Geological Survey service on the colonial estimates. Geological Survey of Victoria—Report of Progress. By R. Brough Smyth. (Melbourne, 1874.)" @default.
