396 Mineralogical Notices. 



als. Ca?^bonaie of lead in a white powder is the only associated 

 mineral of interest. 



Crystallized Specular Iron ore, associated with elegant crys- 

 tallizations of quartz, have been discovered on the farm of J. 



Smith, in Gouverneur, St. Lawrence county. 



Phlogopite^ in large plates and spheroidal concretionSj and con- 

 taining minute crystals oi garnet^ has been obtained in considera- 

 ble quantities in a working for iron ore in Gouverneurj near the 

 mill of R. K. Smith. The mica crumbles soon when exposed to 

 the weather. Crystallized specular iron ore is associated .with it. 



Arragonite^ in snow-white concretions on surfaces of iron ore, 

 at a new working at the Parish iron mine in Rossie, St. Law- 

 rence county. 



Tretnolite^ in great variety and abundance on the farm of F. 

 Arnold, in the town of Diana, Lewis Co., associated with white 

 limestone.

Notices of Localities in New England ; by Mr. Jas. J. H. Greg- 

 ory, of Marblehead, Mass. (Communicated to one of the ^ 

 Editors.) 



Sullivan^ N. H, — Tourmalines! In quartz, of a deep brilliant 

 black, with terminal planes; found about a mile south of the 

 center of the town. — Beryls are said to he found in the same 

 locality. 



Surry ^N. H. — Amethyst; in the great railroad cut imbedded 

 in calcareous spar, but now rare. I was informed that they had 

 been found in other parts of the town. Calc spar, variety called 

 nail-head spar, in slabs lining seams in the granite. 



Grafton^ N.H. — Garnets; from a quarter of an inch \o m 

 inch in diameter; well crystallized, but of a dull color and with 

 faces unpolished: very easily obtained from decomposing slate 

 rock. 



Hartford, Vt. — Calcareous spar^ in masses in a ledge cut 

 through by the railroad near the Connecticut river. — Iron pyrites 

 crystallized in cubes, some of which are two, three, and four 

 inches in diameter and have a good poh'sh, considering their size. 

 Found in a ledge about one-fourth of a mile from the calcareous 

 spar. — Kyanite, in numerous crystals large and distinct, but those 

 I have seen are not generally of a rich color ; perhaps this may 

 be accounted for from the fact of their being blasted from the 

 surface. Occurs in numerous veins passing through mica slate, 

 near Hartford center. 



Bethel, Vt,~Actinolite ! In brilliant crystals in talc. ^ Found 

 very abundantly in a dyke passing through a hill. — Steatite, con- 

 taining crystals of bitter spar. 



Royalston, Mass. — Mica! at a locality situated about four 

 miles beyond the old one in South Royalston. The mica is ot
