Geology of the Gold-fields of Auckland, New Zealand. — Dr. 
W. Lauder Lindsay, who made a geological examination of the Coro- 
m;mdel 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 resulis 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 clay -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
