Kerargyrite. 



The specimen figured on Plate 2 is a particularly fine group of 

 crystals of silver chloride from the Proprietary Mine, Broken Hill, 

 made up of cubes and octahedra without any matrix or extraneous 

 matter whatever. Collected by Mr. J. O. Armstrong. 



Cuprite. 



The cuprite crystals figured on the same plate are of unusually 

 large size, the principal cube being 12 m.m. across and of a splendid 

 transparent ruby-red colour with high lustre ; the principal crystal 

 is a cube with its edges replaced by the rhombic dedecahedron 

 and its angles by the octahedron. It was found in the same 

 boulder as the nantokite at the Broken Hill South Silver Mine. 



ABORIGINAL BORA HELD AT GUNDABLOUI IN 1894. 



By R. H. Mathews, Licensed Surveyor. 



[With Plates III. and IV.] 



[Bead before the Royal Society of N. 8. Wales, July 4, 1894.'] 



For some years past this Society has taken a great interest in 

 the manners and customs of the Australian aborigines, with a 

 view of collecting and preserving authentic records of a race who 

 are now rapidly passing away. It seems therefore, that no circum- 

 stances could be more appropriate, no time more suitable, no 

 opportunity more fitting than the present to bring before our 

 members an account of the Bora which has recently been held by 

 the aborigines near the town of Gundabloui, in the parish of the 

 same name, in the County of Finch, in this Colony. Gundabloui 

 is on the Moonie River, about ten miles below where it is crossed 

 by the Queensland boundary.
