Two specimens of stone used in building at Lyttelton have been forwarded by Mr. W. Bannister, sen., to our office. One is a kind of freestone, which is used in building a portion of the new gaol at Lyttelton, the other, a dark red stone, is also much used in the buildings in progress in that settlement. Both kinds of stone are found in great abundance on an island in the harbour, are easily worked, and appear well adapted for building purposes. The specimens may be seen at our office.
