The possibilities of finding evaporite deposits in Western Australia were investigated by C.L. Knight and E.K. Sturmfels on a reconnaissance trip from 12th September until 14th October, 1949. The localities in which primary gypsum beds or other indications of evaporites at depth were found or from which they are reported, are classified on the following pages according to the geological formations, and their position is shown on two accompanying maps.
