interesting deposit, the second instance of the ore being discovered 

 in British Columbia, and the only deposit in the province that shows 

 any chance of proving of economic importance. The ore occurs in 

 a zone of country rock, altered by the infiltration of silica and calcite, 

 bounded on the north by an altered mica-schist. The width of 

 the altered zone has not yet (August, 1904:) been determined, but it 

 has been proved scheelitiferous for a width of about 12 feet. 



The ore so far developed seems to occur under two distinct 

 conditions, as an associate mineral with iron pyrites and galena in 

 small quartz veins ; and in ' vugs ' in the country rock, sometimes 

 quite pure and at others mixed with a little quartz. The 

 undetermined dark mineral — columbite (?) — occurs in such small 

 quantities as to be of no value. No decomposition products of 

 scheelite have so far been discovered, although the enclosing schist 

 is much discoloured and altered by infiltering solutions. 



The discovery of this rare earth in a place well known for so 

 many years should be remembered when in districts which have 

 been much less thoroughly explored, in which an examination of 

 the heavy materials recovered in the process of Placer Mining may 

 show rare minerals of the greatest economic importance.

rpHE Geological Map of Cyprus^ and the descriptive text 

 I accompanying it are the result of observations extending over 

 a period of five years during which Mr. Bellamy was stationed in 

 the island. He acknowledges the assistance he has received from 

 Mr. A. J. Jukes-Browne ^ and Dr. J. J. H. Teall. 



The following is an abridged account of Mr. Bellamy's description 

 of the island : — 



1. Physical Features. — The Island of Cyprus lies in the extreme 

 eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea, its distance from the shores 

 of Syria on the east and Asia Minor, or, as it is called locally, 

 Anatolia or Caramania, on the north being about 60 miles in each 

 case. It measures about 140 miles from south-west to north-east, 

 and about 60 miles from north to south ; it contains some 3,584 

 square miles.
