39. Quartz Crystals, in great perfection and beauty. 



40. Chlorite. 41. Maxsive Garnet. 42. Rhomb Spar. 

 43, Sulphate of Jllumine. 44. Sulphate of Iron. 



45 Graphite. 46 Aluminous Slate. 47 Breccia. 

 48 Hornslone. 49. Hornblende. 50. Graywacke. 



5L PurMn^sione. abundant, at Great Barrington. 

 52. Oxide of Manganese, do. 



In addition to the minerals found at Salisbury, Con. and 

 described in the 2nd No. of the 8th Vol. of this Journal, 

 the following have since come under my notice. 



1 . Ciimmingtonite, of Dewey, this mineral first found in 

 Cummington by Doct. Porter, and considered a variety of 

 epidote, has since been discovered in various places, but no 

 where lias it been found in such beauty as at Salisbury. It 

 is associated with augite in a ledge of mica-slate, of a glassy 

 lustre, the fibres radiating from a centre and six or eight 

 inches in length. 



2. Phosphate of Iron, occurs with the brown oxide of 

 iron, in a newly opened bed, and is of a white colour when 

 nevvly dug. On exposure to the air it changes to green. 

 It is. very abundani and lies in a diluvial hill, which has 

 been penetrated to a small distance, and is associated with, 



3 Gibbsite ? This presents a somewhat different form 

 from that found in Richmond and Lenox, being less hard, 

 and of a much whiter colour. Composed of granular and 

 botryoidal concretions. 



4, Idocrase. — This occurs in abundance in oblique four 

 sided prisms truncated on all the edges, also in octaedral 

 crystals and massive. They are mostly of an irregular form, 

 variously grouped, and associated with hornblende, epi- 

 dote and calcareous spar. It presents various colors, from 

 a reddish brown, to light yellowish white, resembles that 

 found at Worcester and so accurately described by Doct. 

 Meade in a former No. of the Journal. 



1 am indebted to Doct. E. VV. Cleveland, for many of 

 the above localities.
