A brief description of the talc deposits is given in this report. Details including situation, geology, and tonnage are noted.

These deposits, usually known as Hite's Felspar, are situated southeast of Bombala, in M.L.1., Parish of Nalbough, County of Auckland, on the easterly slope of a spur running northward from a sister peak to Wog Mountain. This preliminary note concerns the situation and geology of the felspar and molybdenite deposits at Wog Mountain.

Results of a microscopic examination of cores from bores Nos. 86 and 92.

The dykes which contain the felspar outcrop lie on the western slope of a hill two miles east of Wodonga, and south-southeast from Albury. This report comprises notes on the occurrence of the felspar and descriptions of the individual deposits.

Report on the asbestos deposit near Bindi Bindi following a visit to the deposit in September, 1943.

Report on a collection of fossils taken from three locations near the property of "Avondale", in the centre of King Island. This report comprises the list of fossils determined in the sample and notes on the fossil assemblage.

The small series of conodonts herein described was found in the crushings of a hard brownish to yellowish calcareous shale from the South Gorge, Waterhouse Range, Central Australia, 40 miles south-west of Alice Springs. The collection of fossiliferous rocks was made by Dr. C.T. Madigan, on behalf of the Commonwealth Oil Refineries Ltd. and many of the specimens were sent to the writer for micro-palaeontological examination.

This progress report follows a general report on the Wymah field by N.H. Fisher and C.L. Knight, submitted in June, 1942. It contains details concerning the development, ore structures, and mineral reserves of the Wymah wolfram mine.

Report on permian foraminifera in core samples obtained from bores at Coorabin, 1942-3.

This report is written chiefly to present estimates of reserves of bauxite proved to date in Gippsland. Consequently, discussions of the geological aspects of the investigation, though essential to an understanding of the subject, are kept to a minimum. The existence of bauxite in the neighbourhood of Boolarra and Thorpdale, County Buln Buln, South Gippsland has been known for some years and bauxite from Nahoo, Allot. 8 Ph. Narracan South, has been used for chemical purposes for over 20 years. Eleven additional discoveries were made from time to time up to April, 1942, when an extensive prospecting programme was undertaken. In the short time that has elapsed since then a further twelve deposits have been discovered, making a total of twenty-four deposits in the adjoining parishes of Moe, Allambee East, Narracan South, Mirboo and Budgeree in the county of Buln Buln. Several of these deposits have been systematically tested by shaft sinking and boring. This exploration is still in progress.
