That the associated mineral was psilomelane follows from its appearance and hardness, the colour of its powder, and the amoimt of water contained, which is too little for mangauitc, and too much for any of the other manganese ; " It is an interesting fact that silver, to the amount of five ounces to the ton of ore, has been found in a specimen from Tony Cape, on assay by J. Taylor and Co., in ; The deposit of manganese ore on the property of the " Onslow East Mountain Manganese and Lime Company " occurs under similar geo- logical conditions with that of Teny Cape, and has been very favourably reported on, both as to the quantity and quality of the mineral, by Mr Bai-nes, Professor How, nnd Dr Honeyman. Galena, or sulphuret of ', is found in disseminated crystals and small veins in limestone at Gay's River and some other places. Some specimens which I have examined contain a considerable proportion of silver; and one bed of limestone at Gay's River, pointed out to me many years ago by the late Mr G. Duncan, has so much dissemi- nated galena that favourable opinions have been expressed as to its economic value; but I am not aware that it has yet been worked. The occurrence of valuable ores of lead in the Lower Carboniferous limestones in England and other countries gives some reason to hope that more important indications of this metal may yet be discovered.
