Scheelite.*—Blackburn. 
A massive specimen of calcium tungstate in rolled nodules; contains a 
little quartz. 
Scheelite—Lake Wakatipu. 
Very much the same as the last. 
Galena.—Tokomairiro. 
This is the common ore of lead, a compound of lead and sulphur ; 
associated with quartz. 
Presented by Mr. Gillies. 
Galena.1— Wangapeka. 
Rolled nodule of quartz, containing veins of galena. 
Galena.—Nelson. 
Associated with quartz. 
Magnetite.t Dunstan. 
A rolled nodule of the magnetic oxide of iron (Fe, O,), containing 
quartz. 
Magnetite——Maori Point, Shotover. 
Massive, with a granular structure. Stained with green carbonate of 
copper. 
Magnetic Iron Sand.—Awamoko Creek, Marawhenua Goldfield. 
The specimen consists principally of rolled grains of magnetite and of 
titaniferous iron ; associated with them are a few zircons (hyacinth), a little 
gold, brown hematite, a little quartz sand, and pieces of iron from tools. 
Magnetite.—Nelson. 
Massive, impure; stained in places with green carbonate of copper. 
Associated with it is a compound silicate of iron, lime, magnesia, potash, 
and soda. 
' Specular Hematite——Longwood Mountains. 
In small lamellar and granular masses, embedded in quartz. 
Red Hematite.—D'Urville Island. 
Massive; of very good quality. 
Red Hematite.—Horseshoe Bush. 
A botryoidal concretion of sand, cemented together by red oxide of iron. 
Brown Hematite.—Dunstan. 
A hollow nodule of the variety of iron ore known as limonite. Of 
very good quality ; when fairly pure this ore contains some 55 per cent. of 
metallic iron ; the red variety of hematite may contain as much as 70 per 
cent.; and magnetite, which is the richest, may yield 72 per cent. of iron.
