l4 Miscedlaneous Locatities of Minerals. 
8. Bog tron Ore.—This article is found in almost every 
town on or range of mountains east of Connecticut river, 
in the south part of Massachusetts, and north part of Con- 
necticut; in Wilbraham, Monson, rimfield, Western, 
Brookfield, and Sturbridge, Massachusetts ; in Stafford, 
Union, Willington, Tolland, and Somers, Connecticut. In 
Union, a person pointed out a spot to me, from which he 
had twice sold the ore fora considerable sum, a second bed 
having been deposited in place of the one remove 
9. Schorl.—This mineral is found, in small quantities, 
in see and in gneiss rock in Monson. 
0. Mica. — This is found in large plates of several inches 
square, in aiaevs particularly in a rock denominated, by 
r. rappel pseudomorphous granite. 
e some other mineral substances I might name in 
shia ve ag particularly the chalybeate springs of which there 
are several in the towns in this vicinity, and in which Iron is 
an abundant ingredient. There are also, I think, several 
particulars in the geology of this section of country, not em- 
braced in Mr. Hitchcock’s description, that are worthy of 
notice. 
P. S.—I have omitted to mention Talc, found in the 
Somers mountain, of a beautiful pale green colour; also 
Hernblende, both crystallized and common.

An apology is due, both to Mr. Hamlin, and his associate, Mr. Holmes, 
for the long delay in noticing the very beautiful minerals, mentioned 
in this catalogue. This delay was owing entirely to accident ; both the 
box, which was very small, and the explanatory letter, and catalogue,
