An Erythrina and the Acacia of Expedition Range were plentiful.

The grass was rich and of various species.

The granite rock still prevailed.

A felspathic rock cropped out near the second creek, where I met with a dark rock, composed of felspar and horneblende (Diorite.) Our camp was pitched at the foot of a series of small conical hills, composed of porphyry.

A larger range to the southward of it was also porphyritic, very hard, as if penetrated by quartz, and containing small crystals of flesh-coloured felspar.
