MINERAL CENSUS OF AUSTRALASIA. 
Mr. James Martlew :—“‘I found the stone on the flat 
in a mallee scrub about half-a-mile from the northern 
toot of the range, being distant four miles south of Yardea 
Station. It was about 15 inches under the surface, and 
was surrounded for about 3 feet by limestone broken 
into small pieces. All around this there was from 4 to 
8 inches of soil covering the limestone ” (T..C. C.). 
J AMESONITE !—Aclare Mine (T. C. C.). 
KAo.uinite ! ! !—All varities of this mineral are to be found in 
the colony, while ordinary clays, consisting of kaolinite 
more or less intimately mixed with impurities, are 
abundant. The following are a few of the many 
localities for the pure white kaolin :—Wallaroo Mining 
District, Tanunda, Ardrossan, Hummock’s Range, 
Teatree Gully, near Charlotte Waters, Central Aus- 
tralia (T.C. C.); Port Vincent (Tate). The following 
are the results of the analyses of two specimens of white 
kaolin dried at 100° C by T.C.C., A from near 
Wallaroo, B from Teatree Gully, the former comprising 
an aggregation of pearly scales easily seen under the 
microscope with a low power :—

calculated.

Hindmarsh Valley, near Kanmantoo, Nuccaleena Mine 
and numerous other localities in the province (T. C. C.) ; 
near Mount Lyndhurst it occurs in the form of 
pentagonal dodacahedral crystals, pseudomorphs after 
pyrite (T.C.C.); Eudunda, near Mount Pleasant, in
