Note.—Specimens Nos. 93 to 97 are from a dyke to the westward 
of the Heathcote township. In places this dyke is of an ordinary granitic 
character, in others it passes into an eurite. The various colors are well 
represented by the specimens, the most permanent being of a light- 
brown, occasionally passing into light-green. In width it varies from 
2 to 5 chains, and is traceable for 4 miles south of the Kyneton Road 
cutting, where it appears to pass into a thin granitic dyke, accompanied 
by greenstone. It is extensively used in Heathcote, both for building 
and kerbing, the harder varieties being well adapted for these purposes. 
It has also been used for making filters or “ drip-stones.” This dyke 
has probably somé connection with one occurring in 4 sheet 51 S.W.

This rock consists of a microcrystal-

Similar to the last; but, on account 
of the appearance of mica in places, 
the rock would come under the desig-
