84 HOFFMANN'S LIST OF 



" Almandito," " Andradite," " Chromiferous garnet," " Essouite," " G-rossularite," 



" Spessartite. " 

 106. Genthite — A mineral apparently identical with Geuthite has been met with in a 



vein on Michipicoten Island, Lake Superior, p)rovinee of Ontario. Auaylses, T. S. 



Hunt, Geol. Can., 1863, pp. 506, 507. 

 10*7. GiESECKiTE — Dysyntribite occurs at Arisaig pier and Frenchman's Barn in Antigonish 



county, province of Nova Scotia. 



108. Glauconite — Occurs in a sandstone of the Lauzon lormatiou, near Point Levis 

 (Levis Co.), and on the Island of Orl(»ans, in the province of Quebec. Analyses, 

 T. S. Hunt, Geol. Can., 1863, p. 48*7. 



109. Gmelinite — Has been found at Cape Blomidon (King's Co.), and Two Islands and 

 Five Islands (Colchester Co.), in the province of Nova Scotia. Analyses, A. A. Hayes, 

 Am. .Tourn. Sci., vol. xxv , p. T8, 1834 ; 0. C. Marsh, ib., 2 ser., vol. xliv, p. 362, 186Y ; 

 A. B. Howe, ib., 3 ser., vol. xii, p. 2*70, 1876. 



110. Gold — The most important auriferous regions of Canada are situated in the pro- 

 vinces of British Columbia, Quebec, and Nova Scotia ; the first on the Pacific coast, 

 the last forming the extreme eastern portion of the Dominion. Gold is, however, 

 also found in some of the rivers of the North-west Territory — in the Lake of the 

 A¥oods and Lake Superior region, and iu the district north of Lake Ontario, in the 

 province of Ontario, — and is reported to have been found iu a few localities in the 

 province of New Brunswick. In British Columbia mining has been almost entirely 

 confined to the placer deposits. In the vicinity of the Lake of the Woods and of Lake 

 Superior gold occurs in veins associated with silver and other ores. In the counties 

 of Madoc and Marmora (province of Ontario), in auriferous mispickel. In the pro- 

 vince of Quebec the placer deposits of the Chaudière region and of the township of 

 Dittou are the only ones in which much work has as yet been attempted. The gold 

 of Nova Scotia is found in quartz, the alluvial gold so far discovered being quite 

 inconsiderable in quantity. 



111. GoTHiTE — Is mentioned by Dr. Harrington, as occurring, in association with black 

 oxide of manganese and calcite, in veins cutting the Lower Carboniferous limestones 

 at Black Rock, near the mouth of the Shubenacadie, province of Nova Scotia. 



112. Graphite — This mineral is met with iu most of the stratified rocks of the Lauren- 

 tian system ; not only the limestones, but the gneiss, pyroxenite, quartzite and 

 pyrallolite beds sometimes hold disseminated graphite. It is also met with in the 

 iron ores of the series, as iu the township of Hull (Ottawa Co.), in the province of 

 Quebec Apart from its being met with in a disseminated form, it occurs in beds or 

 seams from a few inches to two or three feet in thickness. These are often inter- 

 rupted giving rise to lenticular masses, which are sometimes nearly pure and at 

 other times mingled with carbonate of lime, pyroxene, and other foreign minerals. 

 The most important deposits are in the townships of Buckingham and Lochaber 

 (Ottawa Co.), and Grenville (Argenteuil Co.), province of Quebec ; but it is also 

 found in the townships of Burgess (Lanark Co.), Loughborough and Bedford (Fron- 

 tenac Co.), province of Ontario, and, in small quantity, in other localities in these 

 provinces. It is also met with, iu a disseminated form, at French Vale and Glendale, 

 in the province of Nova Scotia ; in the vicinity of St. John, province of New Bruns-
