72 HOFFMANN'S LIST OF 



au old heap of shale at the Scotia miue, Springhill coal-held, Cumberlaud Co., 

 province of Nova Scotia. Anal., F. D. Adams, Rep. Gi-eol. Can., 1878-79, p. 8 H. 



13. Amazon-stone — Occurs abundantly, and of good color, in the township of Sebastopol 



(Renfrew Co.), in the i^roviuce of Ontario. It has also been found in the pegmatite 

 vein, referred to under " Albite," in the township of Villeneuve, and is again met 

 with in the townships of Wakefield and Hull (Ottawa Co.), in'oviuce of Quebec. 



14. Amethyst — Often of great beauty, is found at many places on the shores of Cumber- 



laud, King's, Annapolis and Digby counties, Nova Scotia. The best localities are : — 

 Cape Sharp and Partridge Island (Cumberlaud Co.), Cape Blomidon (King's Co.), 

 and Digby Neck (Digby Co.). Fine specimens occur in veins around Thunder Bay 

 — more especially at Amethyst Harbor, and at the mouth of McKenzie's River — and 

 at other points on the north shore of Lake Superior, i^rovince of Ontario. 



15. Amphibole — See under " Actiuolite," " Asbestus," " Hornblende," " Nephrite," 



" Pargasite," "Tremolite." 



16. Analcite — Fine specimens of this mineral are found at Cape d'Or, Swan Creek, and 



Two Islands (Cumberland Co.), also at Cape Blomidon (King's Co.), in the province of 

 Nova Scotia. It has been obserAaxl, in association with natrolite, in some of the 

 dykes cutting the Trenton limestone at the reservoir extension, Montreal (Hochelaga 

 Co.), province of Quebec. Also oceurs in the amygdaloidal traps of the north shore 

 of Lake Superior, province of Ontario. Anal., B. J. Harrington, Rep. Greol. Can., 

 1S11-18, p. 45 G. 



1*7. Andalusite — Occurs in pale flesh-red colored crystals in a fine grained micaceous 

 schist at Moore's Mills (Charlotte Co.), province of New Brunswick. Also found, in 

 somewhat micaceous argillites, on Lake St. Francis (Beauce Co.), in the province of 

 Quebec. See also note to " Chiastolite." 



18. Andésite — Occurs in large striated cleavable masses of a reddish color, with hypers- 



thene and ilmenite, constituting a rock at Château Richer (Montmorency Co.), 

 province of Quebec. Analyses, T. S. Hunt, Greol. Can., 1863, p. 4*78. 



19. Andradite — Is found in pale yellowish, honey-yellow, and brownish-yellow colored 



crystals, imbedded in chalcopyrite ; and in yellowish-greeu colored masses, in 

 association with white fibrous tremolite and dolomite, at the Malaspina copper-mine, 

 north-east side of Texada Island, province of British Columbia. 



20. Anhydrite — Is met with in considerable ciuantities, constituting beds, in the gypsum 



deposits of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. 



21. Animikite — HuNTlLlTE — Macfarlinite. The minerals thus designated occur at the 

 Silver Islet mine, Lake Superior, province of Ontario. The two first named were 

 described by Dr. H. "Wurtz (Eng. Min. Journ., xxvii, pp. 55 and 124, 1879), the last by 

 T. Macfarlane (Can. Nat., 2 ser., vol. iv, p. 463, 1870), the results of whose investigations 

 of the foregoing are given in the Ti-ans. Amer. Inst. Min. Eng., viii, 236, 1880. [The true 

 nature of the individual minerals present in the Silver Islet ores is still to be deter- 

 mined, but there is probably present a silver arsenide (Huntilite), and perhaps also a 

 silver antimonide (animikite) allied to dyscrasite — (Dana, Min., App. iii, p. 71, 1882.) 



22. Ankerite — This is one of the most plentiful and characteristic of the minerals filling 

 the numerous fissure veins occurring at the base of the southern slope of the
