Abstract/NotesThe mineral tacharanite has been recently re-examined by Cliff et al. (1975). They worked on material from the original locality, Portree, in Scotland (Sweet, I961) and from a few new European localities described between 1971 and 1974. None of the post-Sweet authors, however, refer to the second discovery of the mineral from Tasmania where it was identified by this writer in 1961 and recorded in a number of publications (Sutherland, 1965; Sutherland and Corbett, 1967; Sutherland and Hale 1970; Mines Department of Tasmania, 1970; Sutherland, 1973b). The first Tasmanian report was communicated to J. M. Sweet, who kindly arranged for the Department of Mineralogy, British Museum, to send the writer a small piece of the Portree material for study. As the Tasmanian find does not seem to be known in the later literature, some more detailed information on its occurrence is presented here for comparison with the European localities.
