CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARDS A LIST 



OF THE MINERALS OCCURRING IN CUMBERLAND 



AND WESTMORLAND. 



By J. G. GOODCHILD, of the Geological Survey of England. 



(Communuated at the Carlisle Aftntial Meeting.) 



The following list of Minerals occurring in Cumberland and 

 Westmorland has been drawn up chiefly from notes collected by 

 myself during a stay of several years in Edenside. To these notes 

 a careful examination of the fine series of Cumberland and West- 

 morland Minerals collected by the late Professor Harkness, F.R.S., 

 arid now belonging to Mrs. Pearson of Penrith, has enabled me to 

 add several others, especially of the rarer minerals from the Cald- 

 beck Fells. The Collections in the British Museum, the Museum of 

 Practical Geology, the Carlisle Museum, and elsewhere, have 

 added further to the list. I have also consulted Townshend Hall's 

 Mineralogisfs Directory, Greg and Lettsom's British Mitieralogy, 

 Ward's Geology of the Northern Fart of the Lake District, Bristow's 

 Glossary of Mineralogy, Rutley's Text Book of Mineralogy (the 

 cheapest good book on Mineralogy we have), and lastly, Mr. 

 Postlethwaite's Essay on Mines and Mining i?i the Lake District. 

 My colleagues, Messrs. Rudler and Meade, and Mr. Bauerman, 

 have also helped me with information that I have embodied in 

 these notes. 



The list is not put forward as an exhaustive one, in regard to 

 either the species of minerals, or their characteristics, or their mode 

 and place of occurrence ; and I may add that I shall be very glad
