Extract

Gold and silver have been detected not only in the peculiar facies of the granite occurring on Bittleford Down, but also in the normal grey biotite-granite of numerous tor- and quarry-localities; several hand-specimens of granite showing minute flakes of visible gold have been collected.

The modes of occurrence of gold on Dartmoor, the environment of the granite from which specimens showing visible gold have been taken, and the gold-silver content of the granite generally have been investigated in some detail, with the results described below.
