CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARDS A LIST OF 



THE MINERALS OCCURRING IN CUMBERLAND 



AND WESTMORLAND. (Part IL)* 



By J. G. GOODCHILD, H.M. Geological Survey. 



Amongst the minerals occurring in Cumberland and Westmorland 

 is a small group referred to collectively as the Ochres, which, 

 although they do not belong as a whole to any one group yet 

 enumerated, may conveniently be mentioned here before passsing 

 on to the next group. The minerals are all of rare occurrence ; 

 and as I have met with none of them myself, I give them as they 

 appear in the " List of Minerals of the Lake District," given in 

 Jenkinson's "Guide to the Lakes," 6th ed. (1879,) PP- Ixxvi. — xciii., 

 which was written by the well-known mineralogist and authority 

 on Cumberland Minerals, Mr. Bryce M. Wright, of Regent Street. 



Wad, Earthy Manganese. Millbeck Gill, Skiddaw; and at 

 Blencathra. 



MoLYBDic Ochre. Of an orange-yellow colour. Occurs masr 

 sive, and disseminated, on Molybdenite in the Caldbeck Fells. 

 * Inserted at the Author's expense.
