44 CATALOGUE OF MINERALS ; 
Zinc—Comp. Zn., but probably alloyed with copper, cadmium, 
or other metals. 
I have previously mentioned in a note before this Society, that 
specimens of native zinc from the Gulf country were received by 
the Queensland Museum. 
Mercury—Comp. H,. 
Native mercury has been noticed in a hard dark quartzose rock 
in the Kilkivan district (Rands). 
BismurH—Comp. Bi., generally with arsenic, sulphur, &c., as 
impurities. 
Shots of bismuth have been found in the tin-wash of Stanthorpe, 
and with gold in the wash draining into Pumpkin Gully, near 
Cloncurry. In the Mary Douglas and other reefs, at the head of 
Armstrong’s Gully, Top Camp, Cloncurry, a good deal of gold has 
been obtained associated with bismuth. Small quantities of the 
metal accompany tin ore in the Herbertina and Home Rule 
claims, Herberton; and I understand that large pieces of bismuth 
have been met with in the Mount Shamrock claim, Chowey Creek. 
Native bismuth also occurs in the auriferous lodes of the Nanango 
gold field in a matrix of a kind of steatite. 
TELLURIUM—Comp. Te., with a variable quantity of gold. 
This mineral, or this association of gold, has now and again 
been noticed on the Talgai goldfield. 
SuULPHUR—Comp. S. 
Small amounts of sulphur occur on Taylor’s range, near Brisbane, 
in cavities in quartz, formed by the decomposition of iron pyrites ; 
one specimen shows a noticable amount, filling a corner of cubical 
impression. Sulphur is also seen on the peculiar decomposing 
pyrites of the Etheridge district. 
Diamonp—Comp. pure carbon. 
Two good diamonds, in the possession of the Queensland 
Museum, are supposed to come from Stanthorpe, but their origin 
is somewhat doubtful. It is, however, a notable fact that small 
diamonds have been found in the gem-drift of Stanthorpe, associ- 
ated with magnetite, stream tin ore, zircon, garnet, sapphire, and 
topaz.
