A second well was sunt at Crawford’s Creek, nine miles east of Vindex, and 
water was obtained at one hundred and fifty feet. The strata have already been 
described (p. 403). 
A bore was sunk on Vindex Eun, about seven miles N. 15° E. of the Station, but 
at the depth of one hundred and eighty-seven feet had not struck water. The strata 
have already been described (p. 403). 
MANUKA.— Lat. 21° 4.5', Long. 143° 25'. 
On Manuka Station two wells were sunk prior to 1881. The first, close to the 
Station, struck water at eighty feet. More came in at one hundred and two feet. At 
one hundred and forty feet a large supply came in, making about thirty-six feet of 
water in twenty-four hours, and a few days later seventy feet of water stood in the 
shaft. The water was rather brackish, but cattle drank it readily. In the second well 
a little water came in at one hundred feet. More was found at one hundred and thirty 
feet, and the quantity increased till at one hundred and eighty feet a large supply was 
struck. The water stood seventy-seven feet deep, and was less brackish than that of 
the first well. - The strata jiassed through in both wells were grey flags or shales, with 
bands of bluish sandstone, eontaining indistinct plant-remains and a few shells. The 
specimens of the latter, preserved by Mr. Anderson, of Manuka, had fallen to pieces on 
exposure to the air, and nothing remained of them but fragments.

OOREENA BORES, near Aramao (Private).- Lat. 23° 25', Long. 145° 25'. 
On this Eun there are three bores. A, B, and C, which have tapped an over- 
flowing supply, and four (D, B, E, and G-) which have struck water which rises but does 
not overflow. 
Bore A is nine hundred and four feet deep ; overflow, 1,500,000 gallons per day. 
Bore B is 1,350 feet deep ; overflow, 350,000 gallons per day. 
Bore C t is 1,100 feet deep; overflow, 150,000 gallons per day. 
Bore D, at two hundred and eighty-five feet, and Bore E, at four hundred and 
fifty feet, tapped small supplies of water which did not overflow. 
Bore E, at seven hundred and fifty feet, struck a supply which rose at first to 
forty feet, and afterwards to twelve feet from the surface, and from which 40,000 
gallons per day can be pumped. 
Bore Gr. Depth, three hundred feet ; water rises to within four feet of the 
surface ; 25,000 gallons per day can be pumped.f 
CORIND A BORE, near Aramac (Private). — Lat. 22° 40', Long. 14.5° 40'. 
Depth, five hundred feet. Water flowing over surface at the rate of 150,000 
gallons per day.§
