1888. | NEW YORK ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, 225 
A fine deposit of small garnets in a cream-colored schist was 
obtained some years since by Mr. S. C. H. Bailey, at 23d street, 
cor. Broadway. Larger ones finely formed, E. 42d street. 
Among other deposits noticed by the writer are, 50th street, 
Lexington avenue; 45th street, Second avenue; 59th street, 
Sixth and Seventh avenues; 118th street near Lenox avenue; 
Hell Gate excavations. 
The finest crystal in color and perfection of faces and angles, 
size three inches in diameter, appeared in a heap of stone depos- 
ited some years since in front of the Times office. Unfortunate- 
ly, it was injured in process of extraction from the gangue. It 
has been partially restored. The original locality was probably 
near 56th street and Sixth avenue. 
A large garnet with striated faces, nearly four inches in dia- 
meter, 22 ‘faces intact, in color a dull darkish brown, from 
Brook avenue, near 144th street. 
A similar specimen five inches in diameter appeared in the 
rock at the same locality, but in too frail a condition to permit 
removal. 
A peculiar light red variety appeared at the kyanite locality 
associated with the kyanite, occasionally in masses nearly ten 
inches square, 101st street, Lexington avenue. 
A lamellar variety plentiful at Lenox avenue, 119th street. 
From this point eastward and northward to Mt. Morris 
square, pockets and veins of garnets abound in greater number 
than in any portion of thecity or county. The rocky heights of 
the park are thickly studded with weathered crystals. ‘Che find 
of good cabinet specimens is, unfortunately, quite limited. 
Combination crystals of the dodecahedral and trapezohedral 
forms, in color dark red, size 2 inch in diameter, E. 43d street, 
KE. R 
Under the head of extraordinary compound crystals, our city 
has furnished to science the largest and most interesting garnet 
yet discovered on the continent. The specimen is in excellent 
condition, with sharp angles and smooth faces, size 6 inches in 
diameter. Color dull red, spotted occasionally with chlorite. 
It weighs nine pounds ten ounces (Cabinet of G. F. Kunz). 
An unusually abundant deposit of the above-described form 
of garnets was opened in the summer of 1888, at 65th street 
and Boulevard. 
Fssonite. Cinnamon garnet, cinnamon stone. In oligoclase, 
at Tenth avenue, 135th street. 
Grossularite, 
Topazolite, yellow garnet, and
