302 CANADIAN INSTITUTE: 
eighth Report of this series, together with ecarefully-prepared and judicious ~ 
analyses of the various memoirs published during this interval in home and 
foreign journals. We quite agree with Professor Brush in his non-reception, as 
true species, of the Uranophane of Websky, the Pinitoid of Knop, and other 
similar products of decomposition. Names thus given, should not be permitted 
even fo obtain an entrance into our already over-burdened list of synonymes.
