which identifies the feldspar as an anorthite. 
With the exception of a small amount of this mineral 
found at Shooting Creek, Clay Co., under similiar con- 
ditions, this is the only occurrence of anorthite in this 
State. 
ANTHOPHYLLITE. 
In 1890 Prof. S. L. Penfeldt described this mineral 
which was reported as having come from the Jenks 
coumdum mine near Franklin, Macon Co., N. C. 
During the summer of 1892, while engaged with the 
North Carolina Geological Survey, Prof. Penfield and 
the author visited an outcrop of dunite rock near Bakers- 
ville, Mitchell Co. On breaking open one of the loose 
boulders of decomposed dunite rock, anthophyllite was 
exposed, which Prof. Penfield at once recognized as iden- 
tical with the specimen he had described.
