Moolert, Newstead Road. 3 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. + 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 
nugite 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 
scorie (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. Basatr (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. } sheet 
51 S.W. 
Color grey, mottled. The texture of 
this rock is irregular and obscurely 
laminated. ‘Che 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. } 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 filis a cavity in this specimen, 
36. 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 (88). 
Section 37, Spring Plains. }shect

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. 
Tt includes also some small pebbles of 
other rocks. 
41. Scortaccous BASALT, 
Map No. Ra 112. 
Mount Moolort. } sheet 52 N.E.
