929 MINERAL CENSUS OF AUSTRALASIA. 
Copper! ! (NativE)—This species is represented in great variety 
of forms in the upper parts of the lodes of the Wallaroo 
and Moonta mining districts of Yorke’s Peninsula. Some 
specimens exhibit well-defined though distorted crystals, 
and some very fine examples of the arborescent form 
have also been found. At the Sliding Rock Mine it 
occurs disseminated in grains of varying size. It is also 
found at Angaston, and to greater or less extent in 
several of the other copper-bearing lodes of the colony 
(T. C.C.). 
Cove.uitE ! (Indigo Copper Ore)—Fine specimens in the massive 
form are obtained chiefly from the southern part of the 
mining district of Yorke’s Peninsula. An impure 
variety, black in colour, is not unfrequently found, 
especially in the northern part of the same. district 
(T. C. C.) ; Kapunda Mine (Burr). 
Crocrpotire ! (Blue Asbestus)—Wirrawilka Mine (Ulrich). 
Cupritrt!!!—This mineral is of very general occurrence in the 
: upper portions of the copper lodes of this colony, most 
frequently in the massive form, but finely crystallized 
specimens have been obtained from the following 
localities :__Moonta Mine, Spring Creek Mine, Kapunda 
Mine, Burra Burra Mine (T.C.C.); near Rhondda 
Mine, north of Port Augusta, crystals converted into 
atacamite (T. C. C.); Burra Burra Mine, crystals 
more or less converted into malachite (T. C. C.) 
Chalcotrichite—A specimen of this variety of cuprite has 
been met with in this province, precise locality 
unknown, occurring in groups of small acicular crystals 
with native copper (T. C. C.); Mount Barker Mine 
(Burr). 
CyanirE !—Nuriootpa, in quartz (T.C.C.); near Menge Town, 
Mount Crawford (Selwyn). 
Dramonp !—Echunga (Cloud); the largest specimen of which I 
am aware weighed before cutting 5} carats, its present
