The aim of this pilot research project was to identify the research and educationalpriorities of occupational therapists practising in rural New South Wales. Eightparticipants were recruited in the south-western region of the State. The Delphitechnique was used to obtain the most reliable consensus of the research participants.Priorities emerged in four designated areas: (1) research that would be of value toclients; (2) research that would be of value in providing community care for clients;(3) research that would be of value in facilitating health promotion and diseaseprevention; and (4) research that would be of value to professional and educationalneeds. In the final phase of the study, 23 high priorities were identified. The findingsof the study suggest directions for research and continuing education in occupationaltherapy which may benefit rural practitioners and their clients.

The New South Wales Anaesthetics Continuing Education Committee conducted their 23rd meeting in Sydney on April 7–8, 1989. This was titled ‘Local Anaesthesia and Acute Pain’ and dedicated to the honour of Brian Dwyer who will retire from an illustrious clinical career early in 1990. We record the foreword to the proceedings of the meeting and addresses given at the associated dinner for the benefit of those whose lives and practice have been touched, whether they are aware of it or not, by a great anaesthetist and a great man.

SummaryBarringtonite, a new hydrous magnesium carbonate of composition MgCO3,2H2O, is recorded from Sempill Creek, Barrington Tops, New South Wales, where it occurs as nodular encrustations on the surface of olivine basalt. The mineral is triclinic, biaxial positive, has refractive indices α = 1·458, β = 1·473, γ = 1·501, 2Vγ = 73° 44′, and using Ito's method (1949) cell dimensions α = 9·155 Å, b = 6·202 Å, c = 6·092Å, α = 94· 00′, β = 95· 32′, and γ = 108° 72′. The three strongest lines on an X-ray powder photograph give d values of 8·682, 3·093, and 2·936 Å.

AbstractThe minus 1μm fraction of an argillized vitric tuff, overlying the Wallarah Coal Seam near Swansea, N.S.W. is a nearly monomineralic (95%+) expandite clay, which hydrates and reacts to glycerol and heat treatments like montmorillonite. Results of X-ray, differential thermal, thermogravimetric and infrared absorption analyses confirm the general montmorillonoid character of the mineral, but chemical data indicate that much of its structure charge arises from substitutions in the tetrahedral zones of the lattice, as in beidellite rather than montmorillonite. The structural fOrmula deduced for the Ca++-saturated form of the minus 0.1μm clay is:The distinctive behaviours of the heat-treated NH4+- and Li+-saturated structures also suggest that the mineral is a 'beidellitic montmorillonite' rather than a montmorillonite.

AbstractSpecimens of honey-brown to pinkish-brown globular carbonates encrusting concretionary goethite–coronadite from the oxidized zone at Broken Hill, New South Wales, have compositions in the rhodochrosite–smithsonite series. This may be the first extensive natural occurrence of this solid-solution series. Growth of the carbonates occurred in zones which have near uniform composition. The ratio MnCO3/(MnCO3 + ZnCO3) for each zone bears a linear relationship to the measured d spacing for the 104 X-ray reflections. Because cerussite is the only other mineral associated with the Zn-Mn carbonates and because of an absence of detailed locality information, the paragenetic significance of these minerals cannot be determined. The solutions depositing them may have been derived from the near-surface equivalents of the Zinc Lode horizons.

AbstractA mixed-layer clay mineral from a Permian sandstone at Maitland, New South Wales has been identified as 2:1 mica-montmorillonite structure with ‘imperfectly regular’ interstratification. The results from Fourier transform analysis and Fourier synthesis of 00l X-ray diffraction data have not fully elucidated the interlayering patterns but have indicated that there is complete alteration in the stacking and that the 1:1 (allevardite type) layer sequence relationship is strongly developed.X-ray diffraction, differential thermal, thermogravimetric, chemical, cation exchange and electron microscopic data for the mineral are given. The chemical analysis for the Na+-saturated material gives the structural formulaK0.90 Ca0.06 Na0.49 [Al3.52, Fe0.183+ Mg0.27 Ti0.03 (Al1.24 Si6.76) O20 (OH)4] H2OIt is considered that most of the fixed K+ and Ca++ ions are probably held in the mica interlayers, while the exchangeable components are largely accommodated in the expanded montmorillonite zones.

SummaryHigh-iron bustamite and apatite occur as subhedral large crystals up to 1 to 2 cm wide and 10 cm long in close association with spessartine in the disseminated sphalerite- and galena-bearing diopside-roepperite-calcite skarn at the New Broken Hill Consolidated mine (N.B.H.S.), New South Wales, Australia. Complete chemical analyses of the minerals have been made, together with physical, optical, and X-ray studies.
