Extract

Some years ago the author gave a short description of a quartz-bearing syenite and its xenoliths occurring on the eastern side of Barnavave. The locality was revisited recently and more material wascollected, while another outcrop of syenite was discovered farther tothe north at locality 5.

The new material collected at the original locality is not very differentfrom that previously described. The syenite occurs as veins in lime-stone and, whereas all the previously described material was quartz-bearing, some of the syenite in very narrow veins is virtually free fromquartz. Again, certain specimens carry a fair amount of late-crystallizing wollastonite which may be replaced to a varying degree by pecto-lite.
