Abstract
Daily, Jago and Milnes1 have rejected the hypothesis of Crawford and Campbell2 that in the Early Ordovician there was a dextral strike-slip movement of at least 300 km on a mega-shear parallel to part of the south coast of Australia. By courtesy of all five authors we were sent a copy of the manuscript of Daily, Jago and Milnes and invited to state our own views.
