VI. Caldbeck Fells. 
Mr. Borie last spring examined the Caldbeck Fells in Cumber- 
Jand, which he found to be principally composed of granite. In 
some places he observed the granite traversed by veins of quartz, 
some of them six feet wide, and running N. and S$. The quartz in 
some veins is beautifully crystallized; in others, it is intermixed 
with mica and wolfram, One vein attracted his particular attention. 
It is five feet wide, runs N.N.W. and S.S.E., and quartz, which 
is the predominating ingredient, is associated with crystals of mica, 
molybdena, and crystals of asparagus-stone.
