yards distant from each other, each having a circumference 

 of about 50 yards. 



Crossed country to creek, on road to Parachilna, one mile 

 east of Home's Camp, and followed the road and creek back 

 to Blinman. Laminated shales are seen in creek, on southern 

 side of road, with a dip S.W. at 15° ; which suddenly increases, 

 by a twist, to 73°; and, further up, to 85°; then swings 

 around to E. 20° S. at 50°. Where the creek crosses the 

 road the shales are intensely broken and reunited in large 

 angular pieces. Following which, where the creek forms a 

 loop on the southern side of the road, the shales, which are 

 at first much shattered, pass into a synclinal fold with a 

 high dip, and then to a lower angle with dip S. A suc- 

 cession of basic igneous dykes formed the chief feature for 

 some distance on the same line of section. First dyke occurs 

 at bend of the road in creek, on northern side, and is 40 yards 

 wide with a dip of 85° W. The hanging wall to the dyke, 

 on the western side, consists of laminated shales, that are not 

 disturbed, having a dip S.W. at 45°. The dyke is under- 

 lain, on the eastern side, by shales which are greatly crushed 

 and broken up. This broken rock shows an outcrop, up- 

 creek, of 45 yards; then follow laminated, decomposed, yellow 

 shales, with dip N.W. at 80° ; underlain by thinnish dolomitic 

 rock, which is broken. Second dyke, situated 200 yards 

 higher up than the first dyke (1| miles from Home's Camp). 

 It is fine-grained and very basaltic like, is 60 yards wide, 

 and a strike E. It is bordered by shales that are brecciated, 

 with dip S. 20° W. at 83°. A little further on the road, a 

 strong outcrop of quartzite is seen to come down the hill face 

 on the western side of the road, but is cut off at the creek, 

 and in its place, on the eastern side of the creek, is a fault 

 rock, much broken for 30 yards,, followed by dolomitic 

 rock, with dip W. 20° N. at 75°. This, again, is followed 

 by laminated quartzites, with dip N.E. at 60°; then swings 

 around to N. Third dyke, situated about 2 miles from Home's 

 Camp, is 42 yards wide, with a strike W. 20° N., follows 

 a small creek, and can be traced across larger creek, into 

 hill, on the western side. Fourth dyke, situated about 200 

 yards beyond the third dyke, is 5 yards wide. There is a 

 great show of crush rock on hill, on the eastern side, down 

 to the road, consisting of shales and dolomitic rock in a 

 mixed condition. For the next 200 yards on the road, shales 

 and some dolomitic limestones occur. Fifth dyke, 2 J miles 

 from Home's Camp 120 yards wide. Junction of rock on 

 southern side gives dip E. 20° N. at 65°. Two hundred 

 yards further, blue limestone is seen on road, dip S.E. at 50°, 

 with crushed dolomitic rock on top. Quartzites in shales,
