Review of Phillips's Mineralogy. 47 
Corundellite is another Appendix species; and a little more at- 
tention to published results would have banished it altogether. 
Both in this Journal two years since, and in Dana’s Mineralogy, 
its identity with Emerylite is announced and a new analysis pub- 
lished. Huphyllite is in the same Appendix; but instead of 
giving the later results, published two years since in the works 
just alluded to—both certainly accessible works to the scientific 
enquirer—only the first incorrect analysis is introduced. The 
hew analyses were made in the same laboratory with the first, 
an error in the early results having been suspected. 
Warwickite, another Appendix species, is published with an 
analysis by Mr. T. S. Hunt, made in 1846, and no notice is 
taken of his new results published in this Journal in May, 1851, 
(xi, 352,) where the author gives a very different composition as 
to the proportions of the ingredients, and shows that the crystals 
before examined, although of the prevailing kind, had undergone 
alteration. 
The greater part of American species are black-balled or have 
a place in the Appendix. ‘The following are among the latter. 
Boltonite, Danburite, Emerylite, Euphyllite, Warwickite, Lie- 
bigite, Emerald Nickel, which are believed to be well established 
Species, besides also others that are less well understood. Other 
Species are rejected without any mention even among synonyms. 
Such are Pennite, Phyllite, Williamsite, Microlite, Vermiculite, 
Chesterlite, Melanolite, Tungstic Ochre, Clinochlore, Melaconite, 
aras- 
even supposing the species bad, which is undoubtedly true of 
appreciation of the wants of mineralogists either in Europe, Brit- 
ain, or America. 
Again we observe that the important results of Dr. J. Law- 
tence Sinith respecting Corundum, a paper read before the Acad- 
emy of Sciences at Paris and published in this Journal (January, 
1851,) are unnoticed. ‘The species Phlogopite is not mentioned, 
hor the name alluded to. It is evidently referred to the species 
* Mica,” by which is meant that kind of Mica sometimes called 
Oblique mica, and latterly by Dana, Muscovite, a name not re- 
Cognized by Messrs. Brooke and Miller, nor admitted among 
Synonyms. :
