652 /. T. Jutson: 



that the horizontal limitation of the goldfield is due to the 

 limitation of the minor folds (most of which rapidly merge 

 into one fold). 



The mode of occurrence of gold, a general account of the 

 mining history, and the possibilities of further development of 

 quartz mining are referred to. 



A list of the literature referred to is given. 



In conclusion, I wish to express my thanks to Prof. Skeats 

 for advice and criticism in connection with my work. I have 

 also to thank the respective permanent heads of the Lands 

 and Mines Departments for the use of maps, and for permission 

 to inspect some unpublished returns of gold, the access to 

 which was facilitated by Mr. D. J. Mahony, of the Geological 

 Branch, and Mr. D. Wallace, of the Statistical Branch, to both 

 of whom my thanks are due. My brother, Mr. C. A. Jutson, 

 was also good enough to compile the table of gold returns for 

 the various decades, the data for which I am, however, alone 

 responsible. I have also to thank Messrs. F. Trezise, J. Sloan, 

 H. and F. Squires, of Waiiandyte, for information relating to 

 the mines there.
