P.S.—Since this Catalogue (Sydney edition) w as sent tothe press, a full collection of the rocks from the Peel RiverGold Fields has been contributed to the Exhibition by M.()dernheimer,w’ith an instructive description. It will be seenthat he also confirms the fact, that the gold field is not olderthan the base of the Carboniferous formation (or the top ofthe middle Palaeozoic group), and, as reported to the Govern-ment by the writer of this note, the gold belongs to the igneousrocks that have transmuted that group uponthe Peel.
