29. BASALT. Map No. Ra 106. 
Moolert, Newstead Road. } sheet 
52 N.E. 
Color ash-grey; slightly vesicular, 
fine-grained, dull, earthy: containing 
specular iron sparingly distributed 
throughout. 
30. BASALT. Map No. Ra 103. 
Deep Creek, Carisbrook. 4 sheet 
52 N.E 
Color bluish-grey ; texture rough and 
uneven, fracture uneven and hackly, 
slightly vesicular, vesicles generally 
compressed and flattened. 
31. BASALT. 
S,W.of Kyneton. sheet 9 S.E. 
Color dark-grey; compact, fine- 
grained, with scattered crystals of 
augite and triclinic felspar. 
32. VOLCANIC CONGLOMERATE. 
Map No. Re 27- 
Hardie’s Hill, North side. 3 sheet 
63 S.E. 
Consists of a mixture of volcanic 
scoriæ (the vesicles filled with nodules 
and crystals of carbonate of lime), 
fragments of slate and sandstone, 
quartz, &c., embedded in a brown, 
earthy matrix. 
33. BasaLr (Anamesite). 
Map No. Ra 66. 
Table Hill, near Guildford, sheet 
15 N.E. 
Color grey; fine-grained, granular: 
contains crystals of labradorite (?) and 
specular iron disseminated through it. 
34. BASALT. Map No, R 91. 
Magnet Hill, Baynton. 4 sheet 
_ 51 S.W. 
Color grey, mottled. The texture of 
this rock is irregular and obscurely 
laminated. The mottled appearance of 
the surfaces of fracture is probably due 
to the rock being in an incipient state 
of decomposition. 
35. BASALT. Map No. Ra 32. 
Lot 2, Newham. 4 sheet 6 N.W. 
_ Color grey, mottled ; more irregular 
in texture than the last, but without 
any tendency to lamination; in other 
respects much resembling it. A green 
mineral fills a cavity in this specimen, 
86. AmyGDALOIDAL BASALT. 
Gelantipy, Gippsland. 
Cavities or vesicles filled with car- 
bonate of lime, more abundantly with 
hydrous oxide of iron, and also with 
grains of an opaline mineral (noble 
opal ?). Very absorbent of moisture. 
87. BASALT. Map No. Rb (38). 
Section 37, Spring Plains. 4 sheet 
13 N.E. 
Color dark grey; rough granular and 
slightly vesicular. 
88. Basar (Lava). Map No. Ra 100. 
Loddon Creek, Moolort, 4 sheet 
52 N.E, 
Color ash-grey ; dull, earthy and has 
more the appearance of scoriæ than that 
of a basalt. 
89. VESICULAR BASALT. 
Map No. Re 28. 
Hardie’s Hill, near Crisis G. M. 
Company. } sheet 63 S.E. 
Dark bluish-grey rock, vesicles com- 
pressed and elongated. 
40. BASALTIC LAVA. 
Mount Elephant. 
This‘rock is full of grains and nests 
of olivine, with crystals of felspar (oligo- 
clase),which give it a porphyritic aspect. 
It includes also some small pebbles of 
other rocks. 
41. Scortaccous BASALT. 
; Map No. Ra 112. 
Mount Moolort. 4 sheet 52 N.E. 
A mixture of compact and scoriaceous 
rock, in irregular bands or layers. 
42, BASALTIC SLAG, or CINDER, 
List No. Rs 1. 
Mount Shadwell. 
A black, cindery fragment, haying a 
very woody grain and appearance: con- 
tains nests and grains of olivine. 
43. Vesicutar Basarr (Aname- 
site). Map No. Ra 122. 
Moolort. 4 sheet 52 N.E. 
44, BASALTIC LAVA. List No. Rs1.
