" Natural sulphur commonly occurs in masses, 

 in gypsum, limestone, and marl. Near Artern, 

 it occurs along with honey-stone and bituminous 

 wood. 



" It is sometimes found in veins that traverse 

 primitive rocks ; in veins of copper pyrites, that 

 traverse granite at Schwartzwald in Swabia, in 

 Siberia, in the gold mines of Catherineburg, 

 and in leadglance veins in the Altaian moun- 

 tains. 



" It occurs also in nests in limestone, in Ire- 

 land; in sandstone, at Budoshegy, in Transyl- 

 vania; along with red manganese-ore, at Kap- 

 nik ; and with red orpiment, at Felsobanya. 



" Very lately, the celebrated and enterprising 

 Prussian traveller, Von Humboldt, communi- 

 cated to the National Institute of France, a note, 

 in which he mentions his having discovered, in 

 the province of Quito, between Alausi and Tic- 

 san, a bed composed of sulphur and quartz, in a 

 mountain of mica slate ; and also great quantities, 

 of sulphur in primitive porphyry."*
