peepee the American Journal of Science, Vol. VH, 
No. 1. p.57. Precious Serpentine—Putnam County is taere 
mentioned as the locality. It should have becn Philips- 
town; the writer of that article had only seen specimens, 
and was not aware of the serpentine locality, having a num- 
ber ofinteresting minerals, The gentleman whose name is 
there mentioned as the discoverer, with characteristic can- 
dour first sletell a to me the error as there stated 
Dr. Troost in bis valuable paper, on Pynishe. (Jour- 
nal of the Academy of Natural Sciences. Philadet Iphia, Vol. 
It, Port [, page 122.) has by inistake, stated Newburgh, 
New-York, as the locality of white coccolite—his specimen 
was from Philipstown. 
These remarks are made with no other intention than to 
prevent confusion respecting localities.
