ABSTRACT OF PROCEEDINGS. XXXI. 



Australia, but resembles those from Western Australia and the 

 interior of the continent. It is not unlike one found in Tasmania 

 in 1897. It is sub-globose in shape, the surface being much 

 indented with air pores and globulites ; it has a very dark green or 

 almost black, glassy appearance, and measures 1 in. in diameter, 

 and | in. in thickness, and has a specific gravity of 2*456 at 15° C. 

 It was found at O'Connell near Bathurst, by Messrs. A. Walkes 

 and Lester, some feet below the surface, whilst sinking for gold. 

 Much attention at the present time is being given by scientists in 

 Europe in regard to the origin of these bombs, a fact which adds 

 to the interest of this find.
