pear to be set aside by Descloiseaux’s measurements which make 
Wolfram oblique in crystallization. | 
Red Antimony.—Kenngott has examined crystals of this min- 
eral from Braunsdorf, (Min. Untersuch., i, 1, Breslau, 1849, an 
Liebig and Kopp’s Jahresb., 1849, 727,) and obtained for the in- 
clination of the vertical axis to the terminal plane (OP) 77° 51’; 
OP: a Pa =102° 9’; OP: Px =149° 46’; two planes (Pa, 
and 1Pc) incline to the vertical axis at angles of 37° 37’, 
71° 65’. 
Titaniferous iron.—Vast deposits of titaniferous iron have been 
found by Mr. T. S. Hunt about the bay of St. Paul, Canada. e 
mass is 90 feet in breadth and 300 long. 'The masses are 1m- 
bedded in a syenitic rock. ‘The ore is massive and often coarsely 
granular. Color and streak black. G.=4:56—466. H.=6. 
Feebly affects the magnetic needle. Analysis gave 
Oxyd of Titanium 48°60, Protoxyd of Iron 4644, Magnesia 3°60=98'64. 
The iron was principally in the state of protoxyd, but a portion 
was in the state of peroxyd and to this the deficiency in the 
analysis is attributed.—Logan’s Rep. Geol. Canada, 1850. 
Triphyline.-—The Triphyline of Bodenmais has been analyzed 
by Baer (Arch. Pharm. [2], lvii, 274, and Lieb. and K. Jahresb., 
1849, 773) with the following result: 
Fe Mn £ Y Kk Ne Si , 
8636 4452 576 100 O48 119 516 5:09 178=10059 
Supposing the silica in combination with part of the protoxyds 
as R*Si, the analysis affords the ordinary formula of the species 
&P. After heating, the mineral dissolves in acids and becomes 
brownish red 
Humboldtine or Oxalate of Iron.—This species has been de- 
tected by Mr. T.S. Hunt at Cape Ipperwash, Canada, in shales ; it 
occurs as a soft earthy coating or incrustation of a sulphur yellow 
color. On heating, it instantly blackens, becoming magnetic, and 
then changes to red. The shales contain species of calamites, 
which tends to confirm the opinion that its formation is of vegeta- 
ble origin.—Logan’s Rep. Geol. Canada, 1850. 
On Beudantite; by Joun Percy, M. D., (L. E. and D. Phil. 
Mag.., [3], Sept., 1850, xxxvii, 162.)—Dr. Percy confirms the 
Conclusion of Damour and Descloiseaux, (Ann. Ch. Phys., [3], 
x, 73,) that Beudantite is Cube ore, although quite impure. In 
his analyses he obtained 
8 8 Fe Pb H

2 1235 «=—«:18:60 = undetermined = 8765 29°52 8'49=101°61 
Owing to the small quantity under investigation Dr. Percy ob- 
Serves that these results can be considered as only approximate. 
The determination of the arsenic acid in the second analysis is
