7- Carminc-rcd. The purest red colour, that of carmine. 

 Hare. Ex. Dodecahedral Corundum. This colour occurs less 

 distinct in the capillary varieties of octahedral Copper-ore. 



8. Cochineal-red. Red with a little blue and grey. Ex. 

 Rhombohedral Ruby-blende ; dodecabedral Garnet. 



9. Rose-red. A pale red colour, mixed with white and a 

 little grey, the colour of the flowers of rosa centifoUa. Ex. 

 Rhombohedral Quartz, called Hose-quartz, macrotypous 

 Parachr ose-bary te.. 



10. Crimson-red. Red with a little blue, a particularly 

 fine colour. Ex. Rhombohedral Corundum (the bright co- 

 loured varieties of Ruby) ; prismatic Cobalt-mica. 



11. Peacliblossom-rcd. Red with white and more of grey 

 than rose-red. The colour of peachblossom. Ex. Prismatic 

 Cobalt-mica ; also Lepidolite. 



12. ColumUnc-red. Red with a little blue, and a great 

 deal of black. Distinct in dodecahedral Garnet. 



13. Cherry-red. A dark red colour, mixed with a great 

 deal of blue, and a little brown and black. Ex. Prismatic 

 Purple-blende. 



14. Brownish-red. Red with a great deal of brown. The 

 colour of reddle, a well known substance for drawing. Ex. 

 Iron-flint, a mixture of rhombohedral Quartz and oxide 

 of iron. This colour occurs besides almost exclusively in 

 undeterminable varieties of rhombohedral Iron-ore. 



H. Brown. 



1. Reddish-lrown. Brown mixed with a great deal of 

 red. Ex. Dodecahedral Garnet-blende ; pyramidal Zircon. 



2. Clove-brown. Brown with red and a little blue. Very 

 distinct in prismatic Axinite j also in several varieties of 

 rhombohedral Quartz. 



3. Hair-brown. Brown with a little yellow and grey. 

 Ex. Prismatic Iron-ore ; several varieties of uncleavable 

 Quartz, called Wood-opal. 



4. Broccoli-brown. A brown colour mixed with blue,
