Hussey & Gillingham Limited, Printers, Adelaide. 173 NOTES ON Some occurrences of Silica near MOUNT PAINTER, FLINDERS RANGES. By A. C. Broughton. I Read October 10, 1912.) The locality from which the examples referred to wereobtained is situated in the Far North-Eastern portion ofSouth Australia, the north-easterly termination of the Flin-ders Ranges. The specimens were collected from an area occupyingabout 24 square miles, extending from the divide of theranges near Mount Pitt, 12 miles across the eastern slopes,to Parallana, on the edge of the great eastern plain.
