222 MINEEALoaY. 



Describes crystals of quartz occurring as enclosures in the Carinthine 

 (hornblende) of the eclogite-rock from the Sau Alp in Carinthia. The 

 crystals are formed almost wholly of the fundamental rhombohedron ; 

 but faces of another rhombohedron and of a prism occur subordinately. 

 The crystals are optically left-handed. ' F. W. R.

 Gives the results of observations made with over 100 rocks from 

 different parts of Spain, in order to ascertain their phosphorescent pro- 

 perties, and confirms the non-phosphorescence of pyramidal crystals of 

 apatite asserted by Haiiy. Mentions having observed only slight 

 indications of phosphorescence in pyramidal crystals of orthoclase.
