436 IRON ORES OF EUROPE. 



Italy. The spathous iron and limonite of Lombardy are well 

 known from the Lakes Como and Iseo, and the Bergamask moun- 

 tains, occurring in the former localities in gneiss, and at the latter in 

 Trias. Elba is rich in red hematite and specular iron. 



Greece. Iron ores of Greece are chiefly obtained from the island 

 of Seriphos. They are partly magnetic ore and partly brown hema- 

 tite. 



Norway. The iron ore of Norway is chiefly magnetic. It occurs 

 in mica schist and hornblende schist, extending along the coast in the 

 neighbourhood of Arendal and Kragero. 



Sweden. The ores of Sweden are partly contained in gneiss. 

 The most important are in the neighbourhood of Dannemora and 

 Taberg, where the ore contains titanium and vanadium. 



Iron ores are widely distributed over Western Russia, especially 

 in Finland.
