MINERAL CENSUS OF AUSTRALASIA. 
Douglas Reef, Cloncurry !!, associated with quartz, 
limonite and gold (J.); Herberton Tin Mines !, in 
Home Rule, Herbertina and other mines, associated 
with cassiterite (J.). 
BismutH Ox1pE—Mount Shamrock, Wide Bay district, veins of 
oxide of bismuth are exceptionally rich in gold (R.), 
assaying 62 per cent. of bismuth and 2520z. of gold 
(Mr. Hamilton, reported by R.). 
BIsMUTHINITE—Mount Shamrock !, in fine acicular crystals (R.) ; 
Mount Biggenden ! !(R.) ; Coolgarra, Tinaroo ! ! !, with 
native bismuth in lode in granite (C.) ; Gilbert River ! }, 
in lode (J.) ; Great Britain Mine, Coolgarra ! !, in lode 
associated with cassiterite, galena and sphalerite (J.) ; 
Southern Tin Mine, Irvinebank ! !, in lode associated 
with cassiterite (J.). 
sISMUTHITE—Cloncurry !, containing visible gold (Q. M.C.) ; 
Sellheim !!, in lodes (L.), containing a good deal of 
copper and iron and probably derived from decom- 
position of Wittichenite (J.); Mount Biggenden, 
Degilbo !! !(R.); Mount Shamrock ! !, (R.) ; Coolgarra, 
Tinaroo !, alluvial associated with cassiterite (C.) ; Perey 
River ! ! !, in gullies worked for alluvial gold, containing 
over 72 per cent of metallic bismuth (W. M. Mowbray) ; 
Percy River !!!, in alluvial gravels (J.).—[ Analyses, 
Bi 72°61, COs 12:77, iron oxide 12°80, sand, mica, 
&e. 1:82, sp. gr. 64 (K. T. Staiger); Kangaroo 
Hill ! !, in alluvial gravels (J.); Head of Severn 
River ! !, in alluvial gravels (J.). 
BornitE—Blue Mountains near Eton !, associated with tenorite 
and cuprite (J.); Mount Perry district ! !, associated 
with other copper ores, sometimes in steatite, (R.) ; 
Cloncurry ! ! (Q. M. C.). 
S0URNONITE—Mount Albion! ! !, argentiferous: “The recent 
discovery of bournonite at Mount Albion proves to be 
more important the more fully the deposit is opened up. 
It is calculated that there is in sight at the present 
time fully 2000 tons of black ore, which at £60 per ton 
amounts to the encouraging total of £120,000. As the 
copper, antimony, &c., in the ore pays all expenses, 
this means that the whole £120,000 is clear profit.— 
(Herberton Advertiser, June, 1889).

CatcirE—Sellheim River ! ! !, large veins in shale and sandstone
