Its main function is the promotion of Science by: publishing results of scientific investigations in its Journal and Proceedings; conducting monthly meetings; awarding prizes and medals; and by liason with other scientific societies. Special meetings are held for: the Pollock Memorial Lecture in Physics and Mathematics, the Liversidge Research Lecture in Chemistry, the Clarke Memorial Lecture in Geology, Zoology and Botany, and the Poggendorf Lecture in Agricultural Science. Membership, as an Ordinary, Associate or Absentee Member, is open to any person whose application is acceptable to the Society. An application must be supported by two members of the Society. Subscriptions for the Journal only are accepted. The Society welcomes, from members and non-members, manuscripts of research and review articles in all branches of science, art, literature and philosophy for publication in the Journal and Proceedings.

Abstract: Corundum and zircon concentrates from gravel deposits in two northern Barring- ton plateau prospects were studied for their features, to investigate potential gemstone sources within the catchment zone. The studies utilized field research, colour sorting, gemmological microscopy, EDAX and PIXE trace element analysis and zircon fission-track dating. The re- sults showed statistical differences in corundum suites from different gravel horizons, which suggested different source areas. Anorthoclase and ilmenorutile were identified as inclusions in Barrington corundums for the first time. Zircon fission-track results showed that several episodes of volcanic eruptions were involved (66–4 Ma), reinforcing and adding to previous eruption ages. This suggests multiple corundum delivery both in space and time into drainage systems. Keywords: Corundum, ruby, gravels, terraces, eruption, trace elements, mineral inclusions, zircon, gemstone sources. INTRODUCTION 2.

  • THE UNITING CHURCH in AUSTRALIA Dubbo Congregation
    THE UNITING CHURCH IN AUSTRALIA Dubbo Congregation ANNUAL REPORTS for the period November 2019 to October 2020 CHAIRPERSON Dan Eaton It has been said on more than one occasion that the least successful purchase this year would have to be a 2020 Planning Calendar. So much of what we had envisioned to be doing in our personal and church lives rather abruptly stopped, changed course, stranded us in our homes and away from each other. I stand by my earlier comment that the iconic symbol of this year may very well be a roll of toilet paper. It is not my intention to recount our achievements in a troubled year. That is recorded in the Mission Team summaries, the Treasurer’s financial advice, the events undertaken by our various social and missional operations published in this Annual Report. From the perspective of the Dubbo Uniting Church Council, the considerations of ‘where to from here’ has its platform. In my mind it has been an exhausting year for our physical, mental and spiritual reserves. Without contradiction, the trifecta of drought, bushfires, a deadly and continued presence of the COVID-19 affected life, will require more of us in the months to come as we make our way forward. Honestly, there is no going back to what was our familiar way of living. Let us not look back in nostalgia or forward in fear or over worry, but around us in awareness of who we are as a living church. Think of our regathering in the theme of “Back to the Future”.

  • An Investigation of Unconsolidated Sedimentary Units and Their Role in the Development of Salinity in the Snake Gully Catchment, Central New South Wales
    THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES WATER RESEARCH LABORATORY An Investigation of unconsolidated sedimentary units and their role in the development of salinity in the Snake Gully Catchment, Central New South Wales WATER RESEARCH LABORATORY RESEARCH REPORT No. 214 Prepared by A Smithson and RI Acworth Water Research Laboratory, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, King Street, Manly Vale 2093 NSW January 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Snake Gully catchment, central New South Wales, Australia, has signi¯cant erosion and salt a®ected land, with surface water °ows commonly exceeding 6000 mS/cm (6 dS/m), and shallow groundwater salinity up to 14000 mS/cm ( 14 dS/m). A combination of geoscienti¯c techniques including geological mapping, drilling, radiocarbon dating, particle size analysis, geophysics, groundwater monitoring and hydrogeochemistry have been applied to investigate ¯ne grained unconsolidated sedimentary units and their role in the development of salinity in the catchment. Gully erosion in the valley °oor has exposed a series of sedimentary units with sharp textural contrasts traditionally known as 'duplex' soils thought to have been formed in-situ over 20 to 30,000 years. The units unconformably overlie slightly weathered Palaeozoic bedrock. Three of the sediment units are massive and exhibit strong bimodality, with large angular clasts of local basement supported in a silt-clay matrix, consistent with deposition as debris °ows. Radiocarbon dating of the second unit from surface indicates an age of deposition between 180 and 330 years. Particle size analyses of the sub-50 micron component of the units indicate signi¯cant sorting consistent with an aeolian origin.

Br. is provided.Four species are recognized all typified for the first time. C. stoechadis R. Br. var. parviflora Benth. is foundto be synonymous with the typical variety. The affinities and distribution are considered for the genus and each speies. Anew key to the species is provided and a detailed revised description of each taxon is supplemented bya habit sketch of a flowering branch and analytical drawings of the flowers. Taxonomic History of the Genus The genus Chloanthes was described by RobertBrown (1810) for two species, C. glandulosa and C. stoechadis, which he had collected himselfin New South Wales. It was referred to the Verbenaceae where it has beenretained by the majority of botanists. Sprengel (1825) placed the genus in Linnaeus' "DidynamiaAngiospermia" without reference to any family, and also describeda new species,C. lavandulifolia, now recognized as a synonym of C. stoechadis R. Br.Later, Reichenbach (1828) transferred it to the tribe Verbeneae in the Labiatae.
