88 HOFFMANN'S LIST OF 



province of Ontario. Mode of occiirreuce, examination, and analyses, T. S. Hunt, 

 Eep. Geol. Can., lS66-0!i, pp. 261-269. 



135. IsERiTE— Constitutes a certain portion of the black magnetic sands met with at St. 

 Mary's Bay, Digby county, province of Nova Scotia, on the north shore and gulf of 

 the St. Lawrence, province of Quebec, and on the shores and islands of Likes 

 Superior, Huron, Erie, and Ontario, etc., in the province of Ontario. 



136. Jamesonite — Is stated to occur near Fredericton, New Brunswick. Trof. Bailey (of 

 the UniA'ersity of New Brunswick) informs me that should such be the case, it would 

 most probably be at the antimony mine in the parish of Prince "William (about 

 twenty-five miles from Fredericton), York county, province of New Brunswick. 



IS^. Jasper — A red and purple striped, and red and yellow striped jasper, is abundant at 

 St. Mary's Bay (Digby Co.), and a red variety is found on Briar Island, in the same 

 county, on Partridge Island (Cumberland Co.), Long Island, and at Woodworth's 

 Cove (King's Co.), in the province Nova Scotia. A blood-red jasper, often finely 

 clouded, occurs near Sherbrooke (Sherbrooke Co.), a small bed of dark green* and 

 reddish-brown jasper, traversed by small veins of white chalcedony, at River Ouelle 

 (Kamouraska Co.), and a dark-red jasper in the township of Hull (Ottawa Co.), prov- 

 ince of Quebec. This mineral also enters largely into the composition of the beautiful 

 jasper conglomerate — consisting of pebbles of red and reddish-brown jasper and 

 smoky quartz, thickly imbedded in a white quartzite — which constitutes great beds 

 on the north shore of Lake Huron, province of Ontario. 



138. Kalinite — Is mentioned by Prof. Chapman as occurring in considerable abundance 

 on the exposed faces of some high bluffs of argillaceous shale on Slate River, a 

 tributary of the Kaministiquia, about twelve miles west of Fort William, Lake 

 Superior, province of Ontario. 



139. Kammererite — Is mentioned by Dr. Hunt as occurring, with chromite, in serpen- 

 tine in the townships of Bolton (Brome Co.), and Melbourne (Richmond Co.), in the 

 province of Qu.ebec. 



I'lO. Kaolinite — Is met with in masses, sometimes half an inch thick, in fissures in a 

 sandstone of the Sillery formation, just below the Chaudière Falls (Levis Co.). The 

 masses have a greenish or yellowish-white color and are composed of minute soft 

 scales, very unctuous and slightly coherent (Anal., T. S. Hunt, Greol. Can., 1863, 495). 

 This mineral has also been found in the form of minute pearly scales of a yellowish- 

 white color, unctuous and plastic, lining cavities in a rock in the township of Acton 

 (Bagot Co.), likewise in the province of Quebec. Anal., Gr. C. Hoff'mann, Rep. Geol. 

 Can., 1814-15, p. 314. 



141. Kermesite — Occurs, in smallcrystalline tufts, with native antimony, stibnite, valen- 

 tinite, and senarmontite, in veins traversing argillite in the township of South Ham, 

 Wolfe county, province of Quebec. 



142. Labradorite — Fine examples of this felspar occur in St. Jerome, Morin — bluish, 

 opalescent, cleavable, — Abercrombie, and Mille Isles (Terrebonne Co.), also at Raw- 

 don — as a bluish-white granular homogeneous rock — (Montcalm Co.), and Château 

 Richer — as a pale bluish or greenish-grey rock, with red spots — (Montmorency Co.), 

 in the province of Quebec. Analyses, T. S. Hunt, Geol. Can., 1863, p. 478 ; G. C. 

 Hoffmann, Rep. Geol. Can., 1874-75, p. 316.
