104 HOFFMANN'S LIST OF 



260. Wernerite — Scapolite is very Trequeutly met with iu the Lauieutiau : it occurs in 

 large crystals and oleavabh? masses, with pyroxene and spheue, in Hunterstowu 

 (Maskinougé Co.) ; in the townships of G-renville — in the Augmentation of, pale 

 lemon-yellow — (Argcnteuil Co.), Templetou — where good, and occasionally very large 

 though less perfect, crystals are met with — Portland and Wakefield, etc. (Ottawa 

 Co.), and Calumet Island — lilac-colored — (Poutiao Co.), province of Quebec. In very 

 large, but imperfect crystals, on Turner's Island ia Lake Clear, in the township of 

 Sebastopol, at Grolden Lake in the adjoining township of Algona (Renfrew Co.), and 

 in good crystals in the township of Ross, in the same county — province of Ontario. 

 Analyses, T. S. Hunt, G-eol. Van., 1863, p. 4t4, and F D. Adams (showing presence of 

 chlorine in scapolites), Rep. Geol. Can., 18t*7-78, p. 32 tf. 



270. WiLSONlTE — Fine specimens of this mineral are found iu the townships of Portland, 

 Templeton and Hull (Ottawa Co.), in the province of Quebec. As there met with, it 

 is most frequently intimately associated with scapolite, the two minerals occasionally 

 blending into each other. It also occurs in the townships of Eathurst — the locality 

 of its first discovery by Dr. Wilson — and North Burgess (Lanark Co.), in the province 

 of Ontario. 



27 L WiNKWORTHiTE — The name proposed by Prof. How for a mineral found by him, 

 in gypsum at Winkworth, Hants county, province of NoA'a Scotia. Analyses, 

 H. How, Phil. Mag., 4 ser., vol. xli, p. 270, 1871. [Assumed to require further inves- 

 tigation.] 



272. WiTHERiTE — Occurs in a silver-bearing vein — the veinstone of which consists of 

 calcite and quartz with some fluorite, carrying argentite and native silver — at Twin 

 Cities mine, near Rabbit Mountain, Thunder Bay, Lake Superior, province of Ontario. 



273. Wolframite — Was found by Prof. Chapman, in a large boulder of gneiss, on the 

 north shore of Chief's Island, in Lake Couchiching, province of Ontario. Anal. T. S. 

 Hunt, Geol. Can., 1863, p. 503. 



274. WoLLASTONlTE — Fibrous wollastonite is often found in the limestones of the Lauren- 

 tian series, associated with pyroxene, felspar, quartz, mica and other minerals. Some 

 of the best known localities of its occurrence are : St. Jerome and Morin (Terrebonne 

 Co.), and the township of Grrcn ville (Argenteuil Co.), iu the province of Quebec — and 

 the townships of North Burgess (Lanark Co.), and Bastard (Leeds Co.), in the 

 province of Ontario Anal., Mr. Bunce, Greol. Can., 1863, p. 465. 



275. Zircon — Small brownish crystals of zircon, with tourmaline, are found in granitic 

 veins which traverse gneiss on the North River, in St. Jerome (Terrebonne Co.) ; 

 reddish-brown crystals, which are sometimes half an inch in diameter, occur, in 

 association with wollastonite, pyroxene, sphene, plumbago, etc., in abundance in the 

 crystalline limestone of the township of Grenville (Argenteuil Co.), and it is of 

 frequent occurrence, often in fine crystals, in the apatite veins of Templetou and 

 adjoining townships (Ottawa Co.), proAdnce of '^^uebec. Handsome crystals, includ- 

 ing fine twins of zircon, are found in the township of Sebastopol, also large and good 

 crystals of the same in the adjoining township of Brudenell (Renfrew Co.) ; in small 

 crystals in a graphitic A^in in the township of North Burgess (Lanark Co ), and in a 

 syenitic rock on Pic Island in Lake Superior, province of Ontario. 



276. Menaccanite— See notes to " Ilmenite," "Iserite."
