liie miQe-hill, and apparently in near connexion with the red 

 siliceous oxide of manganese observed recently by Mr. Nuttall. 



Amianthus, connected with the hornblende rock which 

 serves as the matrix of the magnetic iron ore near the furnace. 

 Near the same place green foliated steatite well characterized 

 with yellow garnet. 



Green phosphate of lime, of various shades, associated 

 with brown garnets in the primitive form in six sided prisms, 

 with flat terminations. 



The mineral which has been called dyshnite (and which I 

 first found at Sterling) occurs in connexion with slightly rhom- 

 boidal prisms of what we suppose may prove also siliceous 

 oxide of manganese. 



Also at Sterling— White blende found by Mr. Vanuxem 

 and myself at the same time. 



Red oxide of titanium, lustre metallic, in rounded six-sided 

 prisms, longitudinally striated. 



Very fine crystals of yellowish brown tourmaline and gray 

 spinelle. 



Serpentine and steatite disseminated in the carbonate of 

 lime, and granular franklinite in an old excavation made for 

 copper. 



Fine crystals of green ceylanite, sometimes of considera- 

 ble magnitude occur here in hornblende rock, and sometimes 

 in massive hornblende and jeffersonite. 



Phosphate of iron with red manganesian garnet, and what 

 has hastily been announced as yttro-cerile, hitherto found 

 exclusively by myself in an iron mine at Franklin mountain, 

 procured at the depth of seventy-five feet, and very rare. 



Sulphuret of molybdena at the same place with iron ore.

1. Horn stone. A beautiful variety of this mineral occurs 

 in rolled masses, of a very compact texture, fracture conchio- 

 dal, and the mass strongly translucent.^^—Chesnut Hill, Dela-
