GEOLOGY: AUSTRALIA Four small 8vo paper-bound manuscript notebooks listing minerals and stones to be found in Australia, 84 pages, 1857 where dated, in a clear hand. An 1857 volume lists minerals as to number, name, locality and source, another lists stones 'found chiefly in the Barossa', the third and longest categorizes the minerals and contains a table of contents. One of the booklets is disbound and one has suffered fire damage to a corner, with little loss of text. [No: 19906] The illustration is of a specimen page only.
