On Rev. Mr. Ross' farm, pyrite. 



On Samuel Wells' farm, magnetite. 



On Mathew Dobson's farm, rutile. 



On Jesse Hibbard's farm, near Black Horse, chrome sand in 

 washings containing good crystals, and rarely brookite. Actinolite 

 of a deep green color. Moonstone in very fine specimens, stalactitic 

 magnesite, bronzite, corundum in albite. 



On road leading from Lima to Wawa, amethyst. 



On Media Railroad, near Williamson school, chrysolite. 



On Christian Scherz's farm. Black Horse, a peculiar chromic iron 

 and hematitic iron intermixed with corundum. 



At Edgar Tyson's Black Horse Tavern, on road going towards 

 Rockdale, one hundred and fifty yards below blacksmith shop, 

 corundum. 



Several mines have been started in Middletown of late years for 

 iron ore but have been abandoned, the ore not proving abundant. 

 Some good showy specimens of limonite were found. 



At Lenni, at the deep cut of the Media Railroad, vermiculite of a 

 deep green color, also of a bronze and a white color. Leelite, 

 lennilite, delawarite and actinolite, also several masses of small 

 quartz crystals of a pale green color were collected. A serpentine 

 quarry was opened here. 



Edgemont. On Alfred James' farm, beryl. 



At and near Castle Rock, enstatite, asbestus, chrysotile, talc, 

 limonite in fine specimens showing fibres three inches long, ferru- 

 ginous quartz, some closely resembling compostella quartz, also, in 

 cavities of honeycomb quartz, microscopic quartz crystals doubly 

 terminated and bright red in color. Under the microscope the 

 crystals are colorless and transparent but each contains a minute 

 red speck which colors the whole to the naked eye. These make 

 beautiful microscopic objects. 



Marple. On Major Jones' farm chromic iron. 



On Abby Worral farm, andalusite, some good specimens; in the 

 public road near the mansion, amethyst.
