Localities of Minerals in the vicinity of Brattlehorough, 

 communicated by Dr. Allen. 



Tremolite — beautiful specimens crystalized in quartz, are 



found at Wardsboro, Vt. ; also at Bratilebo- 



rougb, but not good. 

 Schorl — elegant crystals, in quartz, Dummerston; and, 



also, Baattleborough, less perfect. 

 Indicolite — -in largp crystals contained in feld spar and 



quartz, Hinsdale, N. H. 

 Granular Quartz — appearing like loaf sugar, Vernon, Vt. 

 Actynolite — Windham and New-Fane. At New-Fane I 



found it in large masses, separate from any 



other substance. 

 Micaceous Oxide of Iron — Jamaica : in veins in white lime 



stone, near Turkey mountain. 

 Garnets Crystalized in chlorite, beautiful specimens, 



Marlborough, Vt. 

 Scaly Talc — beautiful specimens, discovered by Professor 



Hall, Windham, and by myself, New-Fane. 

 Serpentine An immense mass, Grafton, discovered by 



Professor Hall. 

 Magnetic Iron Ore — in large quantities, containing about 



sixty per cent, iron, Sumerset, \ t. This ore is 



frequently carried to the forge near Bennington, 



to be wrought. Pyrites is also found here in 



abundance, and what the people call bog ore. 

 At Sumerset, an iron forge might be established, with 

 much profit, but those in this vicinity who have the dispo- 

 sition, have not the necessary capital.
