 of this mineral, it has been communicated to me that about two 

 tons of the mineral had been taken to a furnace near Reading, 

 under the impression of its being iron ore.) 



South Mountain, near Bethlehem, Pa. Genth, Am. Journ. 



Sci. and Arts, 2d Ser. xix. p. 20. (Among the material thrown 

 out of a shaft, sunk through a vein, composed chiefly of partially 

 decomposed Feldspar, the mineral occurs in crystals, decomposed 

 on the surface, with Zirconite in small quantity, quite well de- 

 fined crystals of Arsenical L'on, and Sphene in large decom- 

 posing crystals.)

(A large number of crystals were found in a boulder of gneiss on the road to Tem- 

 pleton. The crystals which have been described as being " prisms, often two inches 

 long, appear to be right oblique-angled prisms, truncated upon the acute edges, so 

 as in fact to become six-sided prisms. Their diameter is rarely a quarter of an 

 inch; but usually much smaller. The fracture is eminently resinous, and all the 

 external characters correspond to the Allanite from Greenland. Indeed, specimens 

 are frequently found that cannot be distinguished from the Orthite and Pyrorthite 

 of Sweden, which are probably the same mineral."' Hitchcock, loc. cit.)
