In author's report to the Colonial Secretary, he drew attention for the first time to 

 the probable occurrence of extensive deposits of tin ore. He then stated that 

 " wolfram and oxide of tin with tourmaline, occur near Dundee and in Paradise 

 Creek, and it is probable that this ore of tin is plentifully distributed in the alluvial 

 of other tracts as I have found it amidst the spinelle, rubies, oriental emeralds, 

 sapphires, and other gems of the detritus from granite."

Austr. Mg. Stand., Vol. 4fl, 1908, Sydney and Melbourne, p. 577. 



Gives a description of stannite and mentions localities in which it has been found. 

 States that it occurs in considerable quantity in the Conrad mines. New South Wales, 

 and the Oonah Mine (Zeehan) and at Heemskirk, Tasmania. In the Conrad mine 

 stannite occurs in a quartz vein cutting granite and is accompanied by argentiferous 

 galena, zinc blende, ehalcopyrite and arsenical pyrites. Cassiterite occurs in the 

 granite, but rarely if ever in the vein. At Oonah stannite occurs with bismuthinite, 

 wolframite, galena, pyrite, and zinc blende in a vein between quartzite and graphitic 

 schist, and closely connected with galena deposits. Stannite at both places is argentif- 

 erous. Discusses difficulties of treatment.

Part 1, Proc. Linn. Soc. New South Wales, Vol. 34, 1910, Sydney, pp. 733-781, 

 pis. 59-62, figs. 13, geol. map. 



Describes the country rocks in detail, the distribution of the lodes, their direction 

 and causes of trend. The deposits are divided into eleven classes which do not appear 

 to be very distinctive. The veins under the different classes are described and com- 

 parisons made with occurrences in other countries.

Journ. Proc. Roy. Soc. New South Wales, for 1880, Vol. 20, 1887, Sydney, pp. 93-112, 

 figs. 7. 



General description of both lode and alluvial deposits with geology of district. 

 Accompanying minerals are wolframite, copper pyrites, arsenical pyrites, fluorspar 

 (not in large quantities), tourmaline, fluorine bearing micas, and topaz; at Gulf mine, 

 near Bendemeer, beryl forms a rock in which cassiterite is impregnated. In the InvereU 

 district, diamonds, sapphires and zircons occur with stream tin. Cassiterite is 

 iridescent at Silverton.
