92 Notice of New Localities of Sahlite, Coccolite, &c. 
sided, and from an inspection of the lamine which are dis- 
tinctly visible, they seem to be single crystals. 1am aware 
that writers on crystallography do not admit ws _— 
of reentering angles in single crystals: but I m

double. 
There are also some instances of peculiarity in the forms 
of summits, which it may be worth while to notice. I can 
think of no better way to give a just notion of that to which 
I refer than the following. Suppose a person to be form- 
ing a crystal by placing lamine of the proper form upon 
ch other, till he had cominnented forming the summit by 
higher in a conn milar to the lower part, and after having 
done so for perhaps half an inch, should then finish with a 
summit. In some cases the appearance is as if this process 
had been repeated the second time before the last summit 
was formed. The partial summits are sometimes like the 
ultimate ones, sometimes unlike. It is im possible howeve er, 
within the limits of this paper to notice all the interesting 
appearances exhibited on these crystals. Of themselves 
they might form a copious volume for the crystallographer 
to stu 
About four miles from Greenwood in the direction of 
Fort Montgomery, I found a rich locality of the ceylanite, ° 
or black spinelle. It was accompanied by brucite, both

“Micke on ‘ed: Tht boids. The crystals were very small, 
rarely larger than a pigeon shot, and most of them much 
smaller, but quite perfect. Some were larger, but imper- 
fect. They were so thick and in such numbers as to form 
large black stripes several inches in breadth, and feet in length, 
inthe limestone. The latter formed ledges of considerable 
extent. I believe that Dr. Mead, of Philadelphia, found the 
ceylanite in a similar connexion last summer at Forest 0 
Dean, some miles distant from the locality to which I refer. 
n who guided me through the wood, brought me 
ahervids from the vicinity of the furnace, some speci- 
mens containing larger crystals; but very defective. I did 
not visit the locality myself.
