^'=' ^''^' of the acute lateral edges, the prismatique of Haiiy (Fig. 300), but 



differing in the relative size of the planes. The singular twin crystal. 

 Fig. 309, has been found here by Dr. Ilorton. 



Crystals of feldspar and adularia, usually small, arc found in other 

 parts of the island, both in the quartz which traverses the limestone, 

 and in the fissures of gneiss. Cleavable masses, often of considerable 

 size, and sometimes having a reddish colour, also occur in similar situa- 

 tions. 



Orange County. Common feldspar is of course very abundant in this county. Fine speci- 

 mens having the primary form, and often of a flesh-red colour, occur in the vicinity of West- 

 Point. A beautiful white and opalescent variety occurs at Bog-meadow pond, in the town of 

 Cornwall. 



At the Long, Roberts, Patterson, Stirling and Rich iron mines, massive feldspar is com- 

 mon ; at the two latter, it is red. 



In the town of Warwick, it is found at Rocky hill, of a wliite colour. At McGee's liill, it 

 is red. 



Of crystallized feldspar. Rocky hill in 

 the town of Warwick is one of the most 

 interesting localities. The colours are 

 white, yellowish and reddish white. It 

 is associated with tourmaline and zircon. 

 There have been found here, the pris- 

 matiquc of Haiiy (Fig. 306) ; also the 

 imitairc of Hauy, Fig. 310; and the

sometimes twin crystals occur of the form represented in Fig. 312. 



There is also a locality of this variety about a mile northwest of 



Edenvillc, where it is associated with green tourmaline. 



Putnam County. On Ilustis' farm, in the town of Pliilhpstown, 

 feldspar is found in lamina; of considerable size, associated wiili 

 pyroxene, etc. It is of a reddish colour.
