Miscellaneous Localities of Minerais. 16 
uaving been accidentally mislaid, and concealed in the laboratory, till a 
very recent period.—Eprror. 
I. Green Tourmaline.—Locality—Paris, one mile east 
from the court-house, on the road leading to Buckfield, and 
on the farm of Mr. Nicholas Chesley. They are there found 
in cylindrical prisms, striated longitudinally, and in some in- 
stances so deeply as to make their surfaces appear acicular. 
They vary from one eighth, to an inch and a half in diameter, 
and from one to six inehes in length; no specimen, as yet, 
but this, has been found with a regular termination, and this 
is evidently triedral. Some specimens have been found un- 
commonly beautiful; they are perfectly transparent, and 
exhibit colours from the light to the deepest green. 
iated green Tourmaline.—F ound at the same place 
in small prismatic crystals, semi-transparent, and of a leek 
than an inch in length, diverging 
from a common centre, attached to an ate of mica 
and quartz, and in some instances are found between the 
lamina of a large foliated mica, and spreading into that a fine 
green colour, where it comes in contact. 
3. Acicular green Tourmaline.—Found at the same place, 
in small cylindrical prisms, from one to six inches in length, 
of a bright green colour, sometimes transparent, and in posi- 
tions similar to the former. 
4. Acicular green Fourmaline.—Encompassing a darkish 
blue crystal, probably theindicolite. Green tourmaline of 
this character is frequently found forming a kind of incrusta- 
tion over ill defined masses of black tourmaline. 
5. Actcular Indicolite.—Similar in all respects to the aci- 
cular green tourmaline, excepting its colour, which varies 
from an indigo blue to a black. 
6. Indicolite.—Some of its small crystals, that are found 
in a beautiful granular kind of quartz, exhibit a fine light 
blue colour, while its larger ones have a deeper colour, pass- 
mine’ as you will perceive, have the same locality, are found near 
by, ms fe a short time singe, by Mr. Ezekiel Holmes, 
a student in medicine at this place, and myself, while ona mineralogical 
excursion. 
is place seems to resemble much the Haddam and Chesterfield 
Hater 228 ns age tai imil 1 d ica, and embraces 
nearly, if not entirely, the whole family of the tourmaline. The country 
around here, elsewhere, seems to be peculiarly rich in minerals.
