Geology of Warrandyte Ooldjield. 519 



with anotlier short anticlinal line, and various dykes) ; and 

 sections that required care and time to correctly determine 

 were (wisely, I think, under the circumstances) omitted. In 

 addition, since the issue of the map nianj- more road and 

 quarry sections have probably become available. Many sec- 

 tions, however, that could easily be missed were recorded by 

 Mr. Moon, and it is a pleasure to acknowledge my indebtedness 

 to him in this direction, and for the topography. 



In 1894 Mr. K. A. F. Murray (5) reported on a brief inspec- 

 tion of Panton Hill, Queenstown, and other localities, and re- 

 ferred to the anticlinal fold along which at Warrandyte and 

 Anderson's Creek, the principal gold discoveries had been made. 



In 1895 Mr. James Stirling (6) briefly reported on the 

 parishes of Warrandyte, Nillumbik, Greensborough and Queens- 

 town, which had been rapidly surveyed by Mr. 0. A. L. White- 

 law. Some sketch geological maps were issued, but the parish 

 of Warrandyte was not included. 



In 1896 Mr. Murray (7) reported briefly on the reefs at War- 

 randyte, and on an auriferous dyke on the south side of the 

 Yarra. 



In 1898 Mr. Walter Forbes (8) showed that the Warrandyte 

 mining belt of country formed a series of anticlines and syn- 

 clines, which he represented by map and section. He men- 

 tioned that bands of conglomerate were noticeable, referred to 

 two auriferous dykes, and gave particulars of the strike, thick- 

 ness, yields, etc., of the reefs. He also drew a section across 

 the goldfleld showing the numerous folds, but without reference 

 to the structure of the surrounding country. 



In 1902, Professor Gregory (9), in subdividing the silurian 

 rocks of Victoria into the Melbournian and Yeringian series, 

 referred to a great anticlinal, which he called the Warrandyte 

 anticlinal, the axis of which passed through Warrandyte. He 

 stated that along this axis was a line of contortions and faults 

 (the '■ Warrandyte Fracture Zone ''), along which a series of 

 auriferous quartz reefs occurred. He classifled the beds form- 

 ing the Warrandyte Anticlinal as of Melbournian age (lb. flg. 

 5, Plate XXV.). 



In 1905 Mr. E. J. Dunn (10) reported on the Caledonia Gold 

 Mine, with brief references to other reefs.
