 Reef, Castlemaine (M. 1866). Woods Point (P. 1876).

 basalt (T.M. Catalogue 189-4). Saltwater River ;

 analysis and description see M. 1870.

 all the gold fields ; in the drainage channels from, and 

 in the detritus of, basalt escarpments. As far as can 

 be made out, it consists of two species, iserine and 

 menaccanite (M. 1866). Samples have been received 

 by the Mines Department from all parts of the colony. 

 It usually contains garnets, sapphires, zircons, topazes,
