MTNEEALS OCCURRING IN CANADA. 83 



100. Fahlunite — Is mentioned, by Prof. How, as occurring in granite on the road 

 between Windsor and Chester, Hants county, i^rovince of Nova Scotia. 



101. Fass.\ite — A black, occasionally blackish-green, pyroxene from the township of 

 Templeton (Ottawa Co.), province of Quebec, would seem, from its chemical composi- 

 tion and other characters, to be referable to this A^ariety. Anal., B. J. Harrington, 

 Rep. Geol. Can., 1811-lS, p. 11 g. 



102. Fluobite — Occurs, in green octahedral crystals, with barito, lining fissures in por- 

 phyry, on an island three miles east of Gravelly Point ; in greeu cubes, associated 

 with cjuartz and calcite, at Prince's mine ; of a purple color, filling veins in syenite, 

 on the main land opposite Pic Island, and also, with calcite, in amygdaloid three 

 miles east of Cape Gargantua ; in cubes two or more inches in diameter, associated 

 with large crystals of amethyst, in vitgy in the large irregular veins in the syenite at 

 the mouth of McKenzie's River, Thunder Bay ; in veins near Black Bay and Ter- 

 race Bay ; on Fluor Island in Neepigon Bay, and elsewhere ou Lake Superior, 

 province of Ontario. 



lOo. Fbkibergite — An argentiferous tetrahedrite, associated with some galeuite and 

 sphalerite, in a gangue of quartz, is found at Cherry Creek, thirty-three miles east of 

 the head of Okanagon Lake, province of British Columbia. 



104. Galenite — Is very widely distributed throughout Canada : both in iuterstratified 

 masses, veins, and small crystalline aggregations, etc., scattered through rocks of 

 various kinds. Some of the uiost noteworthy localities of its occurrence are situate 

 — in the counties of Carleton, Lanark, Leeds, Frontenac, Hastings, and Peterborough, 

 and on the north shore of Lake Superior, as at Prince's Mine, Thunder Cajse, and Point 

 des Mines, etc., in the province of Ontario. Extensive deposits of galenite exist in 

 the lUecillewaet district, — at Mount Stephen (Tunnel Mountain), and at Hot Springs 

 and Ileudryx Camp's, Kootanie Lake, etc., in the jiroviuce of Briti.sh Columbia. Fine 

 specimens consisting of more or less perfect octahedra, the axes of some of which 

 were five centimetres in length, have been found, in vugs, at the Silver Islet mine 

 Lake Superior. 



10.5. Garnet — Is very frequently met with, and in nearly all parts of the Dominion. 

 The following comprise some of the many localities of its occurrence. In the pro- 

 vince of Quebec : small beds of granular red garnet occur at St. Jerome (Terrebonne 

 Co.), in Rawdon (Montcalm Co.), and at the north-east side of Bay St. Paul (Charle- 

 voix Co.) : white lime-alumina garnet, mixed with serpentine, is met with at Orford, 

 (Sherbrooke Co.), and an apparently homogeneous rock composed in great part of a 

 similar variety, occurs at St. Francis (Beauce Co.) : red and yellowish-red varieties 

 are met with in the townships of Chatham and Grenville (Argenteu.il Co.) : a rose- 

 red iron-alumina garnet is found disseminated in small masses through gneiss on 

 the Rouge River and vicinity in the township of Clyde, and dark red garnet in the 

 townships of Villeneuve and Templeton, and large and handsome crystals of color- 

 less, light brownish, pale olive-green, and brownish-yellow garnet in the township 

 of Wakefield, Ottawa county. Magnificent crystals of red garnet occur, imbedded 

 in micaceous schist, on the Skeena and Stickeen rivers, and a massive brownish-red 

 mauganesian lime-iron garnet is found near Foster's Bar, Fraser River — in the province 

 of British Columbia. Analyses, T. S. Hunt, Geol. Can., 1863, 496. See further under
