Geology of the Gold-fields of Auckland, New Zealand. — Dr. 

 W. Lauder Lindsay, who made a geological examination of the Coro- 

 mandel gold-field, in the province of Auckland, in February, describes 

 Coromandel as a different type of gold-field from Tuapeka (Otago), and, 

 as such, of interest as illustrative of the general geology of the New 

 Zealand gold-fields. The main results of his observations and deductions 

 may be concisely stated thus :— 



The geology of the northern gold-fields of New Zealand, including those 

 of Nelson as well as Auckland, does not differ essentially from that of the 

 southern or Otago gold-fields (the geology of the latter is described in this 

 volume, p. 143). The parent slates, for instance, are in the north more 

 frequently of a cla3^-slate or argillaceous character than in the south ; the 

 auriferous quartzites are frequently developed to an extent as yet unknown 

 in Otago ; the evidences of trappean disturbance are more numerous, and 

 the metamorphism of the slates by the contiguity of the erupted or in- 

 truded traps better marked. Nor does the character of the gold differ 

 materially, save in so far as, in certain localities, it is more generally asso- 

 ciated with its quartz matrix. 



The Coromandel peninsula consists mainly of a mountain ridge, running 

 nearly north and south ; the mountains having a bold serrated outline, and 

 varying in height from 1000 to 2000 feet. The valleys between the spurs
