 Baume =0.8000 specific gravity) and No. 59743 (47 Baume =0.7909 

 specific gravity). On the other hand. Specimens Nos. 59506 (48 

 Baume= 0.7865 specific gravity) and 59591 (48i Baume =0.7843 

 specific gravity) are darker than their associates, while the color of 

 Specimen No. 59584, with the very low gravity of 50i Baume=0.7755 

 specific gravity, is as dark as any member of the series.
