80 NOTES ON SOME MINERAL LOCALITIES. 
VESUVIANITE (Jdocrase). 
At Bowling Alley Point, near Nundle, in cavities in vein of 
finely granular garnet, penetrating serpentine rock ; in tetragonal 
prisms, with pyramidal terminations ; colour, dark baie: trans- 
parent, glassy lustre ; hardness between 6 and 7. Specimen too 
small to admit of specific gravity being taken ; white streak. Before 
blowpipe fuses easily to a greenish glassy g obule ; associated with 
small crystals of pale yellow garnet. Good specimens would 
probably be met with if proper search were made 
AXINITE. 
About 5 miles south-east from Moonbi Railway Station, in 
tabular acute-edged crystals, grouped together, glassy lustre ; 
hardness between 6and7. Scratches glass, i is scratched by quartz; . 
colour, brown ; when newl Sched hasa violet 
gravity, 3°11 ; streak pale, nearly colourless ; not observed i in situ. 
spec cimen examined was found detac e , on side of steep 
mountain. Before blowpipe oe Minow s to black opaque bead ; 
gives the reactions for mangane 
WOLFRAM. 
(Tungstate of Iron and Manganese.) 
In tributary of Hogue’s Creek, near the road from Glen Innes » 
Dundee, about 14 miles from Glen Innes, in large lumps 
amorphous quartz, associated with molybdenite and tin ore, oth 
of which occur sparingly 
At Wilson's Downfall, 30 miles north of Tenterfield, in white 
quartz, with tin ore. 
At Kingsgate, about 20 miles from Glen Innes, in milky quartz, 
ted with bismuth, molybdenite, and mispicke 1. A specimen 
from this locality had a specific gravity of 7-196, and possessed the 
usual characteristics of wolfram
