In 1889 evidence was laid before this Society by Mr. W. F. Petterd and myself, demonstrating the existence in Tasmania of two centres or districts characterised by eruptive rocks derived from elaeolitic and theralitic magmas.<br>I now submit further localities for rocks belonging to the same great felspathoid series. One of these is the Table Cape Bluff, near Wynyard, on the North-West Coast, and another is the Nut at Circular Head. A third is One Tree Point, Sandy Bay, near Hobart, where melilite, basalt has been identified, but only the first two will be dealt with in these notes.
