42 Miscellaneous JLocalities of .Minerals. 



Note. — In the American Journal of Science, Vol. VH, 

 No. l,p. 57, Precious Serpentine — Putnam County is there 

 mentioned as the locality. It should have been Philips- 

 town ; the writer of that article had only seen specimens, 

 and was not aware of the serpentine locality, having a num- 

 ber of interesting minerals. The gentleman whose name is 

 there mentioned as the discoverer, with characteristic can- 

 dour first pointed out to me the error as there stated. 



Dr. Troost in his valuable paper, on Pyroxene. (Jour- 

 nal of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, Vol. 

 Ill, Pirt I, page 122,) has by mistake, stated Newburgh, 

 New-York, as the locality of white coccolite — his specimen 

 was from Philipstown. 



These remarks are made with no other intention than to 

 prevent confusion respecting localities,

 The following Minerals occur in Pittsjleld. 



1. Red Oxide of Titanium^ abundant in the S. E. part of 

 the town, in green quartz. 



2 Manganese, the compact brown oxide, in considera- 

 ble masses. 



3. Iron, specular, hematitic, magnetic sulphuret and the 

 compact brown oxide. The magnetic occurs in octaedrons 

 in mica-slate. 



4. Marl, on the borders of a pond. 



5. Schorl, In mica-slate, in the S. E. part of the town,

* To the Editor, 



I take the liberty of sending you the following localities of minerals,— 

 some of them may have been published before in your Journal, but not 

 having the former numbers at hand, I am not able to ascertain. Should 

 this be the case, I vish they may not appear in the Journal. 



With high respect, yours, 



CHARLES A. LEE. 



Remark.— I am not able to say, from recollection, whether any of these 

 localities have already been published, and I am not now at leisure to 

 examine. — Editor.
