243 MINERAL CENSUS OF AUSTRALASIA. 
CINNABAR—Kilkivan ! !, in limestone, also with tetrahedrite (L.), 
{Analysis by (C.) of limestone containing cinnabar, the 
cinnabar being determined by the use of Sonstadt’s 
solution :—Carbonate of lime, 50°83 per cent., carbonate 
of iron 26:00 per cent, silica 15°13 per cent., sulphide 
of mercury 7°01 per cent., total 98-97]; Manumbar, 
Brisbane River ! !, reported by Mr. 8. L. Hester ; 
Kilkivan district ! ! !, in lodes, country rock, micaceous, 
chlorite and serpentinous schists, also conglomerates, 
sandstones and _ shales, 70 tons treated, yielded 
6000lbs of mercury (R.). 
Coat—/Vo/e.— Although a complete list of coal seams with their 
analyses hardly comes within the scope of a “ Mineral 
Census,” a list is given of localities where coal is, or has 
been, profitably worked.)—Burrum !!!, the coalfield 
appears to be intermediate in age between the Bowen 
River Field (Carbonifero-Permian) and the Ipswich 
(Jurassic?) (J.); Ipswich! !!, the coalfield is the 
equivalent of the Clarence River beds of New South 
Wales (Jurassic ?) (J.) ; Clifton !! !, part of the Ipswich 
coaltield (J.) ; Jimbour!!!, part of the Ipswich coal- 
tield (J.); Cooktown, Townsville, Bowen River, Nebo, 
MacKenzie River, Dawson River ! ! !, coal of Carboni- 
fero-Permian age extending over wide areas, but not 
worked (J.); Styx and St. Lawrance !!!, Coal seams 
(Burrum beds) now being opened up (J.). 
Copper (Native)—Peak Downs ! !, with quartz (Salmon) ; Mount 
Perry district !!(R.); Alliance Mine, Morinish, Rock- 
hampton ! !, in auriferous quartz, the whole being 
crushed together and yielding loz. of gold per ton 
(L.) ; Gympie !, in amygdaloidal volcanic rock (R.) ; 
Keelbottom Copper Mine!!, in quartz veins in 
porphyrite country (J.); Mount Leyshon, 17 miles 
south of Charters Towers !, in fine microscopic octa- 
hedral crystals, grouped together among decomposing 
felspars, kaolin, hematite, &c., the volcanic ash described 
by R. L. Jack, Gov. Geol., in his report on Mount 
Leyshon (C.); Peak Downs !, in fine threads per- 
meating quartz, so as to render it difficult to powder 
(Salmon); Great Australian Copper Mine, Clon- 
curry !!!, with cuprite in large lodes (J.) ; Cloncurry !!1, 
altering to cuprite (L.); Argylla Copper Mine, Leichardt 
River ! !, in large lode with cuprite and malachite (J.) ; 
Dugald River!!, in large lode with cuprite and 
malachite (J.); No. 1 Copper Selection, Dugald 
River ! !, forming veins through cuprite (J.) ; Cottais’ 
Tin Mine, Herberton !, on joint planes of an intrusive
