MINEEALS OCCURRING IN CANADA. 77 



48. Bog Iron-ore— Occurs iu great abundance at numerous localities in the provinces of 



Quebec and Ontario. In the former, the most important sites are in the Three Rivers 

 district, or between the Rivers St. Maurice, Batiscan and St. Anne. Other deposits 

 occur in the townships of Stanbridge, Fariiham, Simpson, Ascot, Ireland, Eardley, 

 Hull, Templeton— the seigniories of Vandreuil, Lotbinière, Lauzou, St. Vallier, and 

 elsewhere. In Ontario it is met with, iu greater or less quantity, in the townships of 

 CharlotteAdlle, Middleton, and Windham (Norfolk Co.), Cambden (Kent Co.), Bastard 

 (Leeds Co.), etc. Analyses, T. S. Hunt, Geol. Can., 18G3, p. 510. 



49. BoRNlTE — Occurs, most commonly associated with chalcopyrite and chalcocite, in the 



townships of Cleveland and Melbourne (Richmond Co.), Acton (Bagot Co.), Leeds 

 and Halifax (Megautic Co.), Sutton (Brome Co.), and elsewhere in this section of the 

 province of Quebec. It has been found at the West Canada mines on Lake Huron, 

 also at some points on Lake Superior, in the province of Ontario— and near the head 

 of Salmon Arm of Jarvis inlet, and between that inlet and Howe Sound, province of 

 British Columliia. 



50. Bytownite — The name given by Dr. Thompson to a greenish-white felspathic 



mineral found in a boulder, near Bytowu (now the city of Ottawa), in the province 

 of Ontario,— and which has since been shown by Zirkel (Tsch. Min. Mitth., 1871, Gl) 

 to be a mixture. An analysis of a portion of the specimen upon which Dr. Thompson 

 founded the species, is given by Dr. T. S. Hunt iu the Geol. Can., 18G3, p. 419. 



51. Cacholong — Beautiful specimens of this mineral are obtainable on the coast between 



Capes Split and Blomidon (King's Co.), in the province of Nova Scotia. 



52. Cacoclasite— The cacoclasite of Prof. H. C. Lewis (The Naturalist's Leisure Hour and 



Monthly Bulletin, A. E. Foote, No. 8*7, Exposition extra, 1885), has quite recently been 

 submitted to a careful reexamination by Dr. F. A. Grenth, and shown not to be a 

 good species. Am. Journ. Sci., 3 ser., vol. xxxviii, p. 200, 1889. 

 5-3. Cacoxenite— Has been observed by Dr. Harrington as occurring in the form of 

 beautiful little yellow tufts on the walls of cavities in calcite at the pyrite deposit 

 near BrockAnlle, in Elizabethtowu, province of Ontario. 



54. Calcareous tufa — See note to " Travertine." 



55. Calcite— Is found iu large rhombohedral, also modified crystals, at Partridge Island 



(Cumberland Co.), and on the coast between Capes Split and Blomidon (King's Co.), 

 and a very fine apple-green calcite is found at McKenzie's River (Inverness Co.), 

 province of Nova Scotia. A coarsely cleavable sky-blue calcite occurs at the Calumet 

 Falls iu Litchfield (Pontiac Co.), also in the township of Wakefield (Ottawa Co.), and 

 a yellow, cleavable calcite, also a fibrous variety, in the township of Templetou 

 (Ottawa Co.), province of Quebec. A salmon-red, cleavable calcite in the township 

 of Sebastopol, Renfrew county, iu the province of Ontario. Crystalline limestone, 

 suitable for employment as marble, for architectural purposes, occurs in most, and is 

 very abundant in some, of the provinces of the Dominion. White, red, grey, brown, 

 and black (and various shades of these colors) varieties are met with, respectively, 

 at :— St. Armand (Missisquoi Co.), Caughnawaga (Laprairie Co.), Dudswell (Wolfe 

 Co.), Point Claire (Jacques Cartier Co.), St. Dominique (Bagot Co.), St. Joseph (Beauce 

 Co.), etc., iu the proviuce of Quebec— and Arnprior (Renfrew Co.), Cornwall 

 (Stormont Co.), L'Orignal (Prescott Co.), Pakenham (Lanark Co.), and elsewhere in
