306 PROCEEDINGS. 



gap is in the Main Dividing Eange and on the road from Mudgee to 

 Wollar. The cave is situated in an isolated freestone rock of mammoth 

 size. We have generally known these as the " Red Hand Caves," as all 

 the figures represented therein are in a red colour, supposed to have been 

 coloured red with gum taken from the Apple Tree. If you should be 

 desirous of finding the whereabouts of this cave I will give all the infor- 

 mation in my power. There are also some more caves situated in Dunn's 

 Mountain. This mountain is in the Dividing Range, situated to the 

 south-east of Rylestone. When I noticed the paragraph I determined 

 upon writing you re these mentioned, and trust the information will be 

 of benefit. 



I remain, yours sincerely, 



W. G. COX.
