MINEEALS OOCUEEING IN CANADA. 79 



Quelle (Kamouraska Co.), iu the pioviiice of Quebec. In veius iu the amygdaloidal 

 traps of Lake Superior, province of Ontario ; and elsewhere in Canada. 



66. Chalcocite — Is found, most frequently in association with chalcopyrite, or chalco- 

 pyrite and boruite, in the townships of Leeds and Halifax (Megantic Co.), Brome, 

 Sutton (Brome Co.), Shellbrd, Stukeley (Sheiiord Co.), Melbourne, Cleveland, Brompton 

 (Richmond Co.), Acton (Bagot Co.), and Tiugwiek (Arthabaska Co.), in the province 

 of Quebec— at the Canada West mines on Lake Huron, and Prince's location. Lake 

 SuiDcrior, iu the province of Ontario. 



(il. CHALCOPYraTE— Is widely distributed throughout many of the Eastern Townships of 

 the province of Quebec. In some of them it is occasionally met with unaccompanied 

 by other ores of copper, but it i.s more frequently associated with chalcocite or bornite, 

 or both. The more important localities lie iu the townships of Bolton, Brome, Sutton 

 (Brome Co.), Leeds, Halifax (Megantic Co.), Stukeley (Sheflbrd Co,), Ascot (Sherbrooke 

 Co.), Acton (Bagot Co.), Cleveland, Melbourne (Richmond Co.), Chester (Arthabaska 

 Co.), and Ham (Wolfe Co.). Other noteworthy localities are— the tovimship of 

 McKim, and adjoining townships, in the District of Nipissing ; the West Canada 

 mines, Lake Huron, and Point-aux-Mines and other places on Lake Superior, iu the 

 province of Ontario. 



68. Chiastolite— Occurs in a finegrained micaceous schist at Moore's Mills, Charlotte 



county, province of New Brunswick ; aud iu the somewhat micaceous argillites on 

 Lake St. Francis in Beauce county, province of Quebec. 



69. Chlorite (Penninite)— Occurs, most frequently, iu admixture with other minerals, 



forming beds of chloritic slates as iu Bolton (Brome Co.), Sheflbrd (ShefFordCo.), Ascot 

 (Sherbrooke Co), Cleveland and Melbourne (Richmond Co.), and other Eastern 

 Towaiships of the province of Quebec. In some of these townships, however, as for 

 instance those of Potton and Bolton (Brome Co.), aud Broughton (Beauce Co.), beds of 

 pure compact chlorite are met with, and occasionally, as in Cleveland (Richmond 

 Co.), the chloritic slates are traversed by thin, well defined veins, which are filled 

 with pure scaly chlorite. Anal., T. S. Hunt, Geol. Can., 1863, p. 60*7, 



10. Chloritoid — Is of common occurrence iu the micaceous schists of the Eastern 

 Townships, in which it is disseminated in small grains and crystalline plates, or 

 small lamellar and spherical masses. It is thus found in the townships of Leeds 

 (Megantic Co.), Brome and Sutton (Brome Co.), in the province of Quebec. Anal., T. 

 S. Hunt, Geol. Can., 1863, p. 498. 



Tl. Chondrodite— Is often met with iu the crystalline limestones of the Laurentian 

 series. It is found, in grains, in the limestones of St. Jérôme (Terrebonne Co.) ; iu a 

 magnesian limestone in Aldfield (Pontiac Co.), province of Quebec— and, with small 

 scales of graphite, in a white crystalline limestone near Newborongh in North Crosby, 

 also in South Crosby (Leeds Co.), iu the province of Ontario, and elsewhere in these 

 provinces. 



t'2. Chromiferous Garnet— A very beautiful emerald-green chromiferous garnet occurs, 

 iu granular masses and minute crystals, thickly disseminated through a vein of white 

 cleavable calcite, on the east side of Brompton Lake, iu the township of Orford (Sher- 

 brooke Co.), and a very similar garnet is found, associated with apatite, pyroxeue, 

 calcite, orthoclase, tourmaline and idocrase, in the township of Wakefield (Ottawa
