The Lake Frome Embayment Area occupies a position in the southernmost extension of the Great Artesian Basin. It is bounded on the west by the North Flinders limb of the Adelaide Geosyncline and on the east by the Tibooburra Block. It is limited on the south by the Olary Region and the arbitrary northern limits are taken at the south-eastern extension of the Muloorina Gravity Swell.The structural configuration of the area is fault controlled, and is believed to be related to block movements in the basement. A complex of evolved troughs is present. Two major troughs are especially evident, the Bancannia Trough in the east and the Lake Frome Gravity Depression in the west.Remnants of Cambro-Ordovician sediments are preserved on both sides of the Embayment, although outcrop is dominated by rocks of Proterozoic and older age. Devonian sediments are present in the eastern part of the area. Jurassic-Cretaceous sediments related to the Great Artesian Basin sequence are present.

The north-east margin of the basin as described herein comprises some 40,000 square miles situated regionally between the Bowen basin and the Drummond Range on the east and north-east respectively and the towns of Longreach, Charleville, and Mitchell on the west and south. The limit of the present-day Great Artesian basin in this area is marked by south-east striking outcrops of the Jurassic Precipice Sandstone.The stratigraphy of the area can be grossly subdivided into three time-rock units as follows:Pre-PermianPermian-TriassicLate Mesozoic and Tertiary.Pre-Permian rocks of importance include thick Devonian and Carboniferous units. Marine and evaporite facies are present in the Devonian in the south-west (Adavale basin), changing to more continental facies with volcanic and some marine incursions to the north-east (Drummond basin). Carboniferous units are dominantly paralic to continental types. The Devonian and Carboniferous systems were subjected to various degrees of pre-Permian tectonism and removal and, because of this, the existing occurrences of these systems are only fragments of their original extent. Permian and Triassic, marine to continental units were deposited across the area, thinning from east to west in possible cycles of transgression and regression. In addition to thinning regionally, these systems show marked variation in thickness due to transgression and drape and compaction over major, pre-Permian structural trends.Subsequent to deposition of the Triassic, a pronounced tectonic change was introduced. Previously negative areas to the north-east (Drummond basin—Springsure Shelf) began to rise and the Middle to Late Mesozoic subsidence and filling of the Great Artesian basin to the south-west commenced. Therefore, Triassic and Permian strata thicken regionally to the north-east under the Great Artesian basin margin, while post-Triassic strata thicken south-westward, in the opposite direction, into the basin.Three dominant structural trends are reflected in the sedimentary rocks of the area. These are:North-east trends under much of the Great Artesian basin margin.North-westerly trends of the Drummond basin to the north-east of the Great Artesian basin margin.Northern trends of the Denison trough east of the Great Artesian basin margin.

AbstractThe article outlines the Mongolian influences on the biggest horse race festival in Nagchu prefecture in the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR).Since old times these horse races have been closely linked to the worship of the local mountain deity by the patrilineal nomadic clans of the South-Eastern Changthang, the North Tibetan plain. In the seventeenth century the West Mongol chieftain Güüshi Khan shaped the history of Tibet. To support his political claims, he enlarged the horse race festival's size and scale, and had his troops compete in the different horse race and archery competitions in Nagchu. Since then, the winners of the big race are celebrated side by side with the political achievements and claims of the central government in power.

The object of this paper is to give preliminary information about Shāhrudi, one of the Iranian dialects spoken in Khalkhāl, the south-eastern province of Āzarbāijān lying between the Caspian province of Tālesh to the east, Ardabil to the north, Zanjān to the south, and Miyāna(j) to the west.Our information about the Iranian dialects of Āzarbāijān, where a form of Turkish is the common language, has until recently been very defective. The scanty material available was summed up by Professor W. B. Henning in a recent article. Since then, however, several studies of the current dialects of Āzarbāijān have been published.

Theotokou lies at the south-eastern corner of the Magnesian peninsula, a little to the north of the bay of Kato Georgi. The site itself is the seaward end of a narrow valley, where a small brook discharges into a little cove just to the north of a hill called Kastro (Fig. 1). Here there stands a small chapel built in 1807, and dedicated to the Virgin. In the walls of the chapel itself are several ancient blocks, and north and south of it traces of walls are visible. Immediately to the west is a large mass of ruins formerly covered with brushwood; round these stand six fragments of Doric columns, and a seventh lies in a cornfield some distance to the west: an eighth, which was seen here, has disappeared. This place, the traditional site of Sepias, was first visited by a local gentleman, Theódoros Zirghános.

For the South-Eastern regions of the West Siberian oil and gas province, a model of the structure of the Bazhenov reservoir and criteria for selecting areas that are promising for detecting oil accumulations in the productive level of the South-West Bazhenov Formation are proposed. According to the our criteria, the following characteristics of the object of research are given: the thickness of rocks of the Bazhenov Formation, the thickness of rocks with a Corg content > 7%, catagenesis degree of organic matter, the thickness of the underlying and overlying fluid barriers, current reservoir temperatures of rocks and reservoir pressures in the Bazhenov Formation. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the materials that characterize the above criteria, promising zones of two categories are identified. The Central-Nyurol zone is assigned to the 1st category (the most promising), and the North-Nyurol, East-Nyurol, South-Nyurol, West-Parabel, and Ust-Tym zones are assigned to the 2nd category.

<em>Chamaecytisus albus</em> (Hacq.) Rothm. is an extremely rare species, which is inserted in many European red lists and red books. Its continuous range covers the south-eastern part of Europe. That species grows in intensely insolated and calcareous habitats of xerothermic grasslands. Only one station of White Broom had been known in the valley of the Bug river, near Hrubieszów, but in 2007 a new one was discovered near Jędrzejów. That station is located the farthest in the north and the west in Europe and it is completely detached from the continuous range.

Information on the first findings of Gaillona rosea (Roth) Athanasiadis 2016:814 (Aglaothamnion roseum (Roth) Maggs & L’Hardy-Halos 1933:522) in the Russian part of the South-Eastern Baltic is given. Samples of algae in the Russian part of the South-Eastern Baltic along the coast of the Kaliningrad region at depths of 1–15 m were collected by diving method on the north coast of the Sambian Peninsula near Cape Taran and Cape Gvardeysky at the stations confined to hard ground. First samples of G. rosea collected from drifting mats of perennial algae Furcellaria lumbricalis and Polysiphonia fucoides were first registered along the west and north coast of the Sambian Peninsula (Cape Taran) at depths of 1.5–7 m in autumn 2015. The finding of the species in 2015 on the west coast of the Sambian Peninsula is the first registration for the coast of the Gdansk Bay. In July 2016, the species was found in samples at Cape Taran at a depth of 0.5 m. The length of the thalli does not exceed 3 cm. The species was registered with F. lumbricalis and P. fucoides, both in attached communities and in drifting mats. G. rosea is quite common in the Baltic Sea, with the exception of the Gdansk Bay and the northernmost part of the Baltic Sea, where the salinity is low. There is no data available on the abundance of the species in the adjacent Lithuanian waters. The species is rarely registered in the Russian part of the South-Eastern Baltic, and therefore G. rosea is rare in the entire South-Eastern Baltic Sea.
