54 DOMAIN VIII. DIAMICTONIC. 



Pyrenees, which from its remarkable structure 

 however may partially be classed among the 

 Anomalous Rocks. Its decomposition in the 

 air, so visible in the pillars of the palace at Tri- 

 anon, is owing to the mixture of argil, which 

 imbibes moisture. Karsten, in his description 

 of Leske's Museum, mentions granular lime- 

 stone, mixed with clay-slate, from Kunnersdorf, 

 in Upper Lusatia. 



HYPC^OME I. 



Marble of Campan, &c. 



Micronome 1. Lime-stone, with argil. 



NOME XXVI. LIME-STONE, WITH GYP- 

 SUM. 



[LAVOISITE, from Lavoisier y 1790.] 



This sometimes occurs at Montmartre, near 

 Paris. It is a small proportion of lime, natu- 

 rally intermixed, which renders the plaister of 

 Paris so much superior to other manufactories 

 of that substance.
