of the ganiet-saudstone, and inclines to the view that tlie garnet is a 

 secondary mineral formed at the same time as the lode minerals, bat just 

 prior to the formation of the metallic minerals. 



A fine ci-ystal of spessartite from tlie Junction North Mine presented 

 to the Museum by Mr. Combe was measured on the goniometer. The 

 crystal, which has a diameter of 13 mm., is of a deep red colour and 

 highly lustrous. It is bounded by faces of the trapezohedron ii (211), 

 which are developed in almost ideal symmetry. The pi'esence of the 

 forms d (111) and .< (123) is indicated by very narrow {)lanes and stria- 

 tions in the faces of // as shown in the Hgure. A little galena is attached 

 to the garnet.

A very complete analysis by Mr. H. P. White of spessartite from this 

 mine will be found in the Annual Report, Department of Mines N.S.Wales, 

 for 1912 (1913), p. 197.

This mineral, which is comparatively I'are in Australia, has recently 

 been found at the above locality, which is celebrated for its fine wolframite 

 crystals.*" The crystals, which measure up to 4 mm. along the vertical 

 axis, were found embedded in a clay pocket, and I am indebted to Inspector 

 G. Smith for bringing them under my notice. The)' are slaty-brown in 

 colour, doubly terminated, and of pyramidal habit, c (001), )ii (HO), and 

 p (111) being the dominant forms. The faces are brilliant but iutex'rupted, 

 and the goniometer signals are frequently multi{)le. Three crystals were 

 measured with the following results : —
