In this paper the authors refer to their note on the same rock presented to the Society last year, since when they have further examined it microscopically, and have studied its occurrence on the spot. They acknowledge their indebtedness to Mr. R. Williams, the Manager of the Colebrook, for many useful and interesting specimens. The mine is between Rosebery and Ringville, on the saddle of a hill about 1500 ft. above sea-level, and is remarkable for the quantity of pyrrhotite occurring in the rock, associated with copper pyrites in relatively small quantities. The authors do not regard the occurrence as a lode, but rather as a rock mass, in the form of an irregular dyke or intrusion.
