Summary

Secondary minerals described from Tertiary amygdaloidal basalts in the Hunter Springs area, Barrington, New South Wales, are regarded as having been deposited from cold solutions some considerable time after consolidation of the basalts. The constituents in the solutions were evidently derived from the basalts by the action of circulating meteoric waters rather than by deuteric activity.
