Miscellaneous Localitues of Minerals. lo 
having been accidentally mislaid, and concealed in the laboratory, till a 
very recent period.—Eprror. 
1. Green Tourmaline.—Locality—Paris, one mile east 
from the court-house, on the road leading to Buckfield, and 
on the farm of Mr. Nicholas Chesley. They are there found 
in cylindrical prisms,.striated longitudinally, and in some in- 
stances so deeply as to make their surfaces appear acicular. 
They vary from one eighth. to an inch and a half in diameter, 
and from one to six inches in length; no specimen, as yet, 
but this, has been,found with a regular termination, and this 
is evidently triedral. Some specimens have been found un- 
commonly beautiful; they are perfectly, transparent, and 
exhibit colourgeom the light to the deepest green. 
2. Radiated green Tourmaline.—F ound at the same place 
in small prismatic crystals, semi-transparent, and of a leek 
green colour, usually less than an inch in length, diverging 
from a common centre, attached to an aggregate of mica 
and quartz, and in some instances are found between the 
lamina of a large foliated mica, and spreading into that a fine 
green colour, where it comes in contact. 
3. Acicular green Tourmaline.x—Found at the same place, 
in small cylindrical prisms, from one to six inches in length, 
of a bright green colour, sometimes transparent, and in posi- 
tions similar to the former. 
4. Acicular green Tourmaline.—Encompassing a darkish 
blue crystal, probably the ‘indicolite. Green tourmaline of 
this character is frequently found forming a kind of incrusta- 
tion over ill defined masses of black tourmaline. 
5. Acicular Indicolite.—Similar in all respects to the aci- 
cular green tourmaline, excepting its colour, which varies 
from an indigo blue to a black. 
6. Indicolite——Some of its small crystals, that are found 
in a beautiful granular kind of quartz, exhibit a fine light 
blue colour, while its larger ones have a deeper colour, pass- 
minerals, as you will perceive, have the same locality, are found near 
by, and were discovered a short time since, by Mr. Ezekiel Holmes, 
a student in medicine at this place, and myself, while on a mineralogical 
excursion. 
This place seems to resemble much the Haddam and “hesterfield 
localities, inasmuch as it contains a similar coloured mica, and embraces 
nearly, if not entirely, the whole family of the tourmaline. The country 
around here, elsewhere, seems to be peculiarly rich in minerals.
