Source of the Australites. 
As previously pointed out, the australites found east of a line drawn 
north and south through Daylesford, Victoria, have been remarkably few, 
probably not much more than a dozen or two altogether, and some of these 
have most certainly been in the possession of the aboriginals, and by this 
means have been transported from their original localities. Immediately 
to the westwards of the area where the greatest volcanic activity took place 
in Victoria—that is, in the Grampians—and to the north and south of that 
range, australites have been met with in greater abundance than anywhere 
else. Miners who originally worked the gullies for gold at Mount William, 
in the Grampians, have informed the writer that many pounds’ weight of 
australites, sound and fragmentary, were found in some of the claims. 
From the great volcanic area of Victoria australites have probably been 
distributed southward over the northern portion of Tasmania. In a 
north-west and west direction they have been dispersed practically over
