brown garnet, &c. Wada possesses a good specimen of the 

 lievrite with crystals about 0.7 cm. broad and showing co P, oo P^^ 

 P and Pec. 



Massive aggregates of lievrite form vein-stuff in the copper 

 mine of Zömeki near Bakwan. 



90. Epidote. 



In the magnetite deposits near Kamatshi in Rikuchü Pro- 

 vince, green to dark -green epidote crystals are found. A good 

 crystal in Wada's collection, about 1 cm. broad, shows oP, V^, 

 Pœ and coPcôj besides other small faces. 



At Takeshi in Shinano, pretty druses of green epidote 

 needles are found in a decomposed porphyrite-tufif. The geode is 

 irregularly ellipsoidal, and is easily hammered out from the rock 

 containing it. The combination shown by the crystals seem to 

 be P«^. œPœ p. oP.

 Koto's description, in the Journal of the Science College of the 

 Imperial University of Tokyo, 1887). Reddish aggregates of 

 piedmontite are found in a rhyolite near the town of Ueda in 

 Shinano, and were described by Yamasaki in the same journal, 

 1898. 



92. Orthite.
