perfect on three of its four prismatic planes, and jierfectly

At Bhie Hill, prase in magnificent specimens, asbestus, chryso- 

 tile in fibres two, and two and one-half inches in length, actiiiolite, 

 drusy quartz and chromite in large crystals. 



Lower Chichester and Vicinity. On farm of William Trainer, on 

 a knoll near the Linwood mill dam, were found crystals of ortho- 

 clase and tourmaline, and large crystals of beryl of a pale green 

 color, some mottled yellow and green externally and pale green 

 internally, opaque, two inches in diameter. I have in my possession 

 a specimen from this place, one foot in length and an inch and a 

 half in diameter, with another crystal, about six inches long and one 

 inch in diameter attached to it at right angles, I have also a spec- 

 imen two and one half inches in diameter with replacements on the 

 termination. This beryl occurs in a granular quartz, in boulders 

 one to ten feet below the surface, although large specimens have 

 been ploughed up on the surface. There is a deposit of good 

 kaolin near the spring house on the same farm.

On the same farm, in a wash-out of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- 

 road, many fine spessartite garnets were found in a feldspar deposit 

 which occurred in broken blocks, presenting almost the apoearance 

 of masonry ; some good sphene of a yellow color, from a half inch to 

 one inch in length, are also found here. 



In the same neighborhood, on the farm of J. B. Okie, amethyst
