ampton, and half a mile below the village. Several s speci- 
mens of what is-called bog iron ore, have been obtained in 
digging a drain. The ore settles at the bottom of the drain 
in the form of rust. Sometimes particles of iron, with a me- 
tallic lustre, are conglomerated. e earth of this bog, 
but sometimes it contains yellow ochre. his bog covers an

List of simple minerals. 
Schorl. In Williamsburgh, in veins of granite, in mica 
slate, and in granite lying contiguous to mica slate, in six, 
nine and twelve-sided prisms, with triedra]l summits. Also 
in Chesterfield, frequently stellated. Indeed, crystals of 
schorl are found in this region, of all sizes, where granite is 
near mica slate. Sometimes the schorl is amorphous, and in 
fragments. 
Beryl. In Williamsburgh, in granite veins; some of the 
crystals are two or three inches in diameter, a oan six, or 
more, in length. Also, at Goshen and Chesterfield, an 
wherever there are granite veins, or where seal lies next 
to mica siate. 
Red oxide of Titanium. 1n Williamsburgh, in quartz in 
mica slate; some of the crystals are as large as a man’s 
hulk, and handsomely geniculated. “Also, at Chesterfield, 
Gicshen, Conway, and Whateley, in mica slate, and in nests 
of quartz in mica slate. 
Precious Garnet. In Williamsburgh, in granite ; at one 
locality a face of a boulder of granite was filled with them. 
The garnets are, many —_— transparent, or nearly so; and 
in all cases highly translucen 
Common Garnet. In Williamsburgh, in mica slate, tal- 
cose and homntleaie slates, in vast quantities. Also, at 
Chesterfield, of an enormous size, in the cyanite rock ; when 
ect, all are dodecaedra. Sometimes the. is mas- 
sive, and sometimes erystalized in groups. 
Epidote. In Williamsburgh, in quartz; this ‘epidote i is in 
lay and contains small garnets, which are a focus around
