Schilder & Schilder (1939) used the same name to designate a smaller area extending from Geraldton to Port Essington in the Northern Territory. Although the Schilder’s cite Hedley, they never refer to his regions. Huismann’s (2007) revision of the Damperian region considered the boundaries to be vague, with a portion of the southern part of the region overlapping with the Flindersian.
