The Fourth, dated 16th January, 1869, is a “ Concluding Eeport of the Govern- 
ment Geologist for the South oim Division, on the examination for Gold of the Country 
south of the Bunya Bunya Eange, between the Elver Brisbane and the Coast, including 
some Observations on the Gold Deposits at Jimna and Gooroomjam.” 
The Fifth “ Progress Eeport of the Government Geologist for South Queens- 
land ” is dated 31st March, 1869, and refers to the Talgai Gold Fheld. 
The Sixth, a “ Eeport on the Auriferous Country of the Upper Coiidamine, 
embracing the Diggings at Talgai, Thane’s Creek, Canal Creek, and Lucky Valley,” is 
dated 28th July, 1869, and is accompanied by a Geological Map. 
The Seventh and last Eeport, dated I7th January, 1870, is “ On the Geological 
and Mineral Features of a part of the Southern and Northern Portions of the Burnett 
District.” 
Mr. Daintree made six Eeports (all published in fcp. as Legislative Assembly 
Papers), as follows : — 
(1.) On tlic Cape Eiver Diggings, and the latest Mineral Discoveries in Northern 
Queensland, October, 1868. 
(2.) On Gold Discoveries in the Gilbert Eanges (with Map), dated. 7th April, 1868. 
(3.) Progress Eeport on a Portion of the Eockhampton Mining District, with a 
Geological Map of Mount Wheeler. 
(4.) General Eeport on the Northern District, 2nd February, 1870. 
(6.) On the Eavenswood, Moimt Wyatt, and Cape Eiver Gold Fields, &c., dated 
29th August, 1870. 
(6.) Geology of Queensland as represented at London Exhibition, 1871, 3rd Novem- 
ber, 1871. 
Mr. Daintree went to London in charge of the Queensland Mineral Exhibits at 
the 1871 Exhibition, and remained there as Agent-General for the Colony. In addition 
to the above Reports, Mr. Daintree wrote an important Paper, “ Notes on the Geology 
of Queensland,” in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, for 
1872. To this Paper there were appended Descriptions of the Fossils, by Mr. Eobert 
Etheridge, F.E.S., F.G.S., Palieontologist to the Geological Survey of Great Britain, 
and Mr. W. Carruthers, F.E.S., F.G.S., Keeper of the Botanical Department in the 
British Museum. The Geological Map, which has already been referred to, was issued 
with this Paper, and was afterwards reproduced in colours by the Queensland Govern- 
ment. 
A Map of Queensland, “ Showing Mineral Areas,” by Mr. Daintree, was issued 
with a “Handbook for the Use of Intending Immigrants” (n.d.), and again with a 
smaller “ Handbook for Immigrants to Queensland,” London, 1875. Both Handbooks 
were compiled by Mr. Daintree. The first-mentioned contains numerous photographs 
by bim, which are evidently reductions of the large coloured photographs, mostly taken 
with a view to the illustration of geological structure, which adorned the Queensland 
Court of the 1871 Exhibition.
