5.— THE METAMORPHIC ROCKS OF THE EAST MORETON AND 

 GYMPIE DISTRICTS. 

 By H. I. JENSEN, D.Sc. 



1. Introduction. — The puj"pose of this paper is not to give a 

 complete accomit of all the metamorphic rocks of the areas men- 

 tioned, but rather to record a number of scattered observations which 

 I have made on my journeys, and to describe such rocks as are of 

 particular interest. The area over which my observations extend is 

 bounded by the Kin-Kin Creek, Wolvi Range, and Tinana Creek on 

 the north; the Maiy River, Stanley River, and Mount Mee on the 

 west; the Pine River on the south, and Moreton Bay, Bribie Passage, 

 and the ocean on the east. The greater portion of this area is covered 

 by Trias-Jura coal measui-es and volcanic rocks. The metamorphic 

 rocks occur only in the extx'eme north-west, west, and south-west por- 

 tions of the area.
