guage does not admit. Thus we Lave lime carlonated, lime 

 phosphated, lime filiated, lime sulphated, &c. If the other 

 translations are not more fortunate than this, neither the Ger- 

 mans, Spaniards, nor Italians, will derive much advantage from 

 the benevolent exertions of M. Lucas. 



The nomenclatural zeal of M Haiiy is far from being cooled. 

 In his mineralogy he allowed about ten of the old names of 

 stony minerals to remain ; among others, felspar, which had 

 been employed from time immemorial, was permitted to figure 

 away among the new words. This word has been since dis- 

 carded, and the word orthose invented and substituted in its 

 place. 



II. The following are the new species admitted by Haiiy into 

 his system since the publication of his Mineralogie : — 



1. Sulphuric acid. This acid was first observed in a lake in 

 Italy in 1776. It has been since found in South America by 

 Humboldt, and in a lake in Java by Leschenault de la Tour. 



2. Boracic acid. Found in different lakes in the country of 

 Sienna, in Italy, in 1776. It exists also in Thibet ; at least this 

 opinion is entertained. The lakes of that country yield the borax 

 of commerce. 



3. Carbonic, sulphurous, and muriatic acids. 



4. Ferruginous carbonate of lime. Found in Spain, and at 

 Saltzburg. Rome de Lisle confounded the crystals of this variety 

 of calcareous spar with those of fluor spar. 



5. Red manganesian carbonate of lime. It has a red colour, 

 and the crystalline form of carbonate of lime. It is a mixture 

 of carbonate of lime, carbonate of manganese, and quartz. 



6. Pearly carbonate of lime. This is the schiefer-spar of 

 Werner, and the argentine of Kirwan. 



7. Arragonite. Haiiy threw this species of carbonate of lime 

 into his appendix, on account of its crystalline form. He has 

 since introduced it into his system as a distinct species. 



8. Silicious phosphate of lime. This variety was described 

 * by Brogniart in his Mineralogy, and seems tq be a mixture of 



phosphate of lime and quartz. 



9. Ferruginous sulphate of magnesia. This is the haarsaltz 

 of Werner. It occurs in abundance in the old coal-pits near 

 Glasgow, from which alum is made. 



10. Silicious carbonate of magnesia. This is the native mag- 

 nesia of Werner discovered by Dr. Mitchell. 



11. Silicious borate of lime. This is the datholite discovered 

 at Arendal, in Norway, by Esmark, in 1805. 



12. Sulphate of soda. Found in many mineral waters. It 

 occurs, likewise, in Germany, crystallized, and in powder. 



13. Sulphate of ammonia. Found on Mount Vesuvius and 

 Mount Etna.
