200 MINERALS OF THE MIDLANDS. 



Blende.. .. .. Occurring usually with Baryte, in the middle 



of calcareous claystone nodules. 



Galena . . . . Is said to occur in such nodules ; but in my 



experience the small crystals having the 

 look of this have always proved to be Blende. 



Quartz .. .. Vein as well as quartzite, and its varieties, 



Jasper, Cornelian, Chert, and Flinis, occur 

 plentifully in the " drift ;" but I have not 

 met with them excepting as derivate 

 minerals. 



Lydite . . . . . . The same applies. 



Mica . . . . . . Occurs in small spangles in the sandstones 



and clays ; but of this the same may be said. 



Phosphate of Lime . . Calcareous nodules sometimes contain a 

 large proportion of this ; and they deserve a 

 mineralogical name quite as much as the 

 Boles and the Ochres, and other such 

 matters.
