SUPPLEMENT TO MINERAL LEXICON. 7G1 



189G. Spodumene. Goshen. 



Mr. Alvau Barrus writes me as follows concerning tlie spodumene localities 

 in the north part of Goshen, near Taylor's mill, and at Mannings: 



New York parties have been at work im the spodiimeno matter for lithia lor the past eight 

 years, oft' and ou. They had no difficulty iu gcttiDg it iuto a solution, but had troubh' in 

 making the separation. They wrote me a iew <lays ago that thoy had sucreeded in doing it 

 all right and would soon report results, for which I am still waiting. Wo iind tlie spodumene 

 in place at two points, as indicated on the map, one leading north and south and the other half 

 a mile to the 'east, running east and west. There seems to be an abundance of it. 



1896. Talc. Soapstone. Blandford. 



Reported from the north end of Blair's pond. (S. A. Bartholomew.) Also as 

 an inclosnre in hornblende-schist on the road going north from North Bland- 

 ford past Bartholemew's quarry, 100 rods east of the road on the west side of 

 Round Hill. 



1896. TiTANiTE. Chester. 



At the new adit north of the road at the old mine, iu druses iu and on albite, 

 and covered by prochlorite ; wine-yellow; common flat forms, often twinned; 

 flue crystals, 3-6"'™ long. (See p. 143.) 



1852. Tourmaline. Chesterfield. 



The colored tourmalines are rarely terminated. A flue crystal is figured 

 having the faces co R2, co R, O R, R, with the basal plane making nearly the 

 whole termination of the crystal, C. U. Shepard. Treatise on Mineralogy, 

 p. -220. 



1896. Tourmaline. Huiitington. 



A mile north of Knightsville, at the 700-foot contour, on the east side of the 

 river. — A. Barrus (private communication). 



1896. Tourmaline. Huntington. 



Beautiful flattened tourmalines occur in muscovite at the quarry in jjcgma- 

 tite, near Knightsville. 



1896. Tourmaline. Dendi-itic Tourmahne. Northampton. 



In fissures in the fine-grained muscovite-biotite-granite from the village of 

 Haydenville ; an exquisite, delicately traced dendritic growth of tourmaline. 

 The surfaces of the fissures are perfectly flat, wholly fresh, and the rock for 1 or 

 2 millimeters in is whiter from the absence of biotite, while the surface on which 

 the dendrite is has also a slight excess of biotite in larger crystals than in the 

 rest of the rock, and a few brown-red garnets. (See PI. "VII, p. 316.) 



1896. ZoisiTE. Chesterfield. 



The locality is found by following the brook which enters East Branch a mile 

 .south of Bisbee mill, five-eights of a mile east, and then going 30 rods south 

 into a spur of the hill marked 145.5. — A. Barrus (private communication.)
