98 HOFFMANN'S IJST OF 



Paul (Charlevoix Co.) ; in small red flattened crystals iu the chloritic schists of the 

 township of Sutton (Brome Co.) ; in minute grains iu the black sand obtained iu the 

 washing of the auriferous gravel at Rivière du Loup (Beauce Co.), and in somewhat 

 large crystals, occasionally geuiculated, in a gangue of dolomite and barite, in the 

 township of Templeton (Ottawa Co.), province of Quebec. It has been found iu 

 tolerably distinct crystals iu crystalline limestone on G-reen Island in Moira Lake, in 

 the township of Madoc (Hastings Co.), and iu the form of delicate acicular crystals, 

 in quartz cavities at the Wallace mine, Lake Huron, province of Ontario. See also 

 note to " Sageuite." 

 21'7. Sagenite — A transparent quartz penetrated with needles of rutile is stated, by Prof. 

 How, to have been found at Scot's Bay, King's county, province of Nova Scotia. 



218. Sahlite — The most common variety of pyroxene met with in the apatite deposits of 

 Ottawa county, province of Quebec, would appear to be a lime-magnesia-irou 

 pyroxene or sahlite. On peculiarities in forms of crystals from this locality, see 

 results of observations by B. J. Harrington, Eep. Geol. Can., 18Y7-t8, p. 18 G. 



219. Salammoniac — Has beeu met with, in association with native sulphur, constituting 

 a deposit on the cliffs of shale ou Smoky River, North-west Territory. Anal., Gr. C. 

 Hoffmann, Rep. Geol. Can., 18'75-*76, p. 420. 



220. Samaeskite — Has been found on lots one and two of the second range of Maison- 

 neuve, Berthier county, province of Quebec. [When first met with, this township 

 was not laid out, consequently the locality could not be given more definitely than 

 as it appears iu the report, here referred to, viz., just beyond the north- western limits 

 of Brassard (the adjoining township), Berthier Co.]. Anal., G. C. Hoffmann, Rep. 

 Geol. Can., 1880-82, p. 1 H. 



221. Saponite— Occurs iu cavities in the trap of St. G-eorge or Hog Island, Richmond 

 Bay, north coast of Prince Edward Island. Anal., B. J. Harrington, Can. Nat., 2 ser., 

 vol. vii, p. 119, 18*75. 



222. Selenite — Is met with in greater or less quantity at several of the gypsum deposits 

 in the province of Nova Scotia, as at Oxford, River Philip (Cumberland Co). In the 

 province of New Brunswick it is especially abundant at Petitcodiac (Westmoreland 

 Co.) where the gypsum deposit, which has a breadth of about forty rods and a total 

 length of aboiit one mile, is traversed through its entire extent by a vein of nearly 

 pure selenite eight feet wide. This mineral is also met with in the provinces of 

 Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and elsewhere. 



223. Senarmontite — Occurs, with native antimony, stibnite, valentinite and kermesite, 

 iu veins traversing argillite in the township of Ham, Wolfe county, province of 

 Quebec. 



221. SERrENTiNE — Is met with abundantly among the metamorphic rocks of the Eastern 

 Townships and Gaspé peninsula, in the province of Quebec, where it forms vast 

 masses, which are frequently almost free from other admixture, but at times enclose 

 diallage, actinolite, garnet and chromite ; or are intermixed with carbonate of lime, 

 dolomite and occasionally ferruginous mugnesite. Extensive beds, mostly contain- 

 ing intermixed carbonate of lime and dolomite, occur in the townships of Thetford 

 and Coleraine (Megantic Co.), Broughton (Beauce Co.), South Ham and Garthby 

 (Wolfe Co.), Melbourne (Richmond Co.), Orford (Sherbrooke Co.), and Bolton (Brome
