This list has been compiled by the Queensland members of Committee 
No. 7 (who constituted themselves a sub-committee, of which Mr. R. L. 
Jack acted as Secretary), with the co-operation of Mr. A. Gibb Maitland, 
of the Geological Survey of Queensland, and other gentlemen whose 
names are appended to the information furnished by them. 
Most of the localities named will be found in the 16-mile map 
published by the Lands Department. 
Rock-forming minerals, as such, have been purposely omitted, except 
in cases where some peculiarity in their mode of occurrence required to 
be pointed out. 
The occurrence of certain common minerals, e.g. Quartz and Calcite, is 
only noted in such cases as present features of scientific or economic 
importance. 
To enumerate every locality where gold is found would be an endless 
task. The list includes the chief gold fields, with a reference to their 
geological characteristics, and a few cases in which the metalgoccurs 
under specially noteworthy circumstances. 
' Occasionally the occurrence of a mineral at a certain place is referred 
to by two or three observers, each of whom has something different to 
record regarding the mineral or the conditions under which it occurs. 
Mere duplicate observations have been struck out by the Secretary in 
editing the list. 
It may be said that the prominence given to a mineral is not always 
proportionate to its importance. Unfortunately the amount of informa- 
tion to hand regarding minerals bears no ratio to their scientific or 
economic value. 
The list is necessarily incomplete, but if the emendation of the 
“Census” is to be from year to year the care of a Committee of the 
Association, the present list, it is hoped, will form a useful basis for 
future operations.
