For the accounts of Nos. 1 and Nos. 4 to 16 I am indebted to 

 Mr. Brough Smyth's Gold Fields and Mineral Districts of Victoria. 



In colour most of the New South Gold is usually of fairly deep 

 yellow, being rather lighter than Victorian and not so light as 

 much of the Southern Queensland gold, but occasionally specimens 

 of very pale and of very dark gold are met with. The quantity of 

 silver present greatly affects the colour of the metal.
