. SPHALERITE, F., O. R., 1825. The name Cleiophane (Prof. A. H. 
Chester informs the writer), was given by Nuttall in some 
private way. It is first noticed by T. H. Henry, Phil. Mag. 4th 
Series, I. 23, 1851. It merely refers to a white, very pure variety. 
Yellow blende also occurs.

Gray spinel also occurs one-half mile southwest of Franklin.

Phila, Acad. Nat. Sci., 1889, 187. 
YTTROCERITE was announced by Gibbs in Amer, Jour, Sci., i. VI., 
379, 1823, but appears in no subsequent list. 
ZiIncITE, F., O. Called ‘‘red oxide of zinc,’? in Bruce’s Amer.

The above list embraces six good species named from this oc- 
currence, nine good varieties, one species desaulesite that needs 
a complete description, and nine worthless creations. 
As the appended discussion indicates, Prof. F. L. Nason has 
probably discovered something new and interesting that is now 
under investigation by Prof. A. H. Chester.
