replaced by tin, tourmaline and quartz. Tin lodes consist of a zone of replaced 

 granite (quartz tourmaline), with usually a central seam or fissure filled with tourma- 

 line and tin, which may vary from a few inches to many feet in width. Pyrites and 

 monazite occur in some veins. The small amount of work done has not only shown 

 the presence of rich alluvial tin, but has afforded evidence of the presence of rich 

 lode tin.

Author thinks tin of Mt. Bischoff is the result of volcanic eruptions, Mt. BischofI 

 being an extinct volcano. 



First deposit, of about 6 feet, is composed of small detached pieces of porphyry, 

 granite and tin disseminated through it. 



Second eruption is more granite, in shape of large boulders and not so much tin. 



Last eruption appears to have been more violent sending up large masses of granite 

 and the greatest quantity of tin.

Short account of Mt. Bischoff tin mining. Other districts mentioned as important 

 are: Rinffarooma, Branxholme, George's Bay and Blue Tier. 



Author thinks Tasmania is destined to occupy a more prominent place as a tin 

 producing district. Further examination will doubtless bring to light massive lodes 

 of tinstone which have been the source of the great alluvial deposits of the island.
