On large Crystals of Stibnite. — Dr. A. E. Foote exhibited a 

 specimen of stibnite which was shown by the Commissioners of 

 the Japanese Empire at the World's Exposition, New Orleans, 

 and pronounced by them to be the finest ever found. It is a 

 large fan-like group, twenty-two inches high by nine inches wide. 

 The crystals vary in diameter from one to two inches. The 

 largest is perfectly terminated. The Japanese locality, which 

 h:is hitherto been incorrectly given, is Iyo. On account of their 

 remarkable brilliancy, extraordinary size, and great number of 

 crystalline planes, it is the most remarkable metallic mineral 

 ever found. The known planes of stibnite are now eighty-five, 

 of which forty, described by E. S. Dana from this locality, 

 are new.
