• The number of "distinct" quartz reefs cannot be strlctly correct, as parts of the same reef, in some localities, are beld to be distinct reefs, and named aeeordlngly. .As the reefs are fnrther explored, it i. found, too, that what are supposed to lJe separate reefs are not really distinct.

t The extent of auriferous ground is here put down from estimates made by the Mining Surveyors aud Registrars, not from actual surveys; and in a. few instances the estimates of the present Surveyors and Registrars differ from those made by their pl*edeeessors~ Tue figures Vtll'Y from year to year; as the shallow alluvIums of the older goldfields o.:re abandoned by the miners, they are takellllp and occllpied. under the provisions Of the Land Act, by agrlcnlturists and gardeners, and lttound whicb One year was Included In the estimated area of gold workings is excluded in another.
