234 MINERALOGY. 



Goldsmith, E. Stibia ferrito, a new mineral from Santa Clara Co., 



California. Proe. Ac. Nat. Sci. Pliiladel. p. 366. 

 Stil)ia ferrito is described as a hydrated antimoniate of iron. It 

 occurs on stibnite, from which it is probably derived.

de I'Auvergne. [Zeolitic associations in the ancient lavas of 



Auvergne.] Compt. llend. 2 sess. Assoc. Frang. pp. 379-382. 



The zeolitic minerals of Auvergne comprise the following — meso- 



type, mesolite, scolezite, analcime, phacolite, christianite, laumonite, 



mesole, apophyllite ; calcite, arragonite, giobertite, chalcedony, bitumen, 



&c. also occur. Analysis of mesole from Chaux-de-Bergonne and of 



christianite from»Cap-de-Prudelles, both by M. Pisani, are given.

 Gould, C. On specimens of Entile, Anatase, and Brooldte found in 



Tasmania. Monthly Notices Eoy. Soc. Tasman. for 1873, p. 57. 

 These minerals are recorded from Clayton Rivulet, N.AV. coast of 

 Tasmania, in a drift derived from the destruction of metamoi'phic rocks. 

 Kyanite, rubies, and sapphires were also found near the same locality.

 GoTJVENAiN, — DE. Sur la dissemination de I'etain et sur la presence 

 du cobalt et de diverses autres substances dans les Kaolins de 

 Colettes et d'Echassieres situees dans le departoment de rAllier. 

 [Presence of tin, cobalt, &c. in the Kaolins of the department of 

 the AUier.] Compt. Eend. t. Ixxviii. pp. 1032-1034. 

 Tin, cobalt, and nickel have been found in this china-clay in the pro- 

 portion (at Colettes) as to tin of about 26 lbs. of ore to 1050 cubic feet 

 of clay. An appreciable quantity of cobalt was obtained, and a trace of 

 nickel. G. A. L.

 Shows that this species (smaltine) is not holohedral, but that, like 

 iron-pyrites and cobaltine, it is pentagonal-hemihedral. Most of the 

 crystals arc thermo-electrically negative towards copper ; but some are 

 positive. Being isomorphous with iron-pyrites and cobaltine, the for- 

 mula of Speiskobalt should be (Co, Ni, Ee) As^. E. W. E.
