228 Miscellaneous Localities of Minerals. 
2. By Tuomas H. Wenz: Hy : 
a Chlorite Talc is found in abundance at Fosich near 
the locality of cyanite mentioned in a former Number of 
the Journal. It consists of narrow, elongated, compact 
plates, or lamine, of a dark green and greenish black col- 
our. Associated with it we find, 
2. Alctynolite, compact and fibrous, of a dark green col- 
our, surface splendent, and longitudinally striated. It some- 
times runs parallel with the above, often passes at right an- 
gles with it, but generally oceurs intersecting it ua: 
It is imbedded i ina fine grained granite. 
3. Common Serpentine, in the hill upon which the Uni- 
versity stands, in this town. Its colour is brown, with a 
yellowish cast, and is striped in some parts with pale black; 
its fracture is uneven, and it exhales, when moistened,: an 
argillaceous odour. 
4, Dendritic Limestone, at Harriss’ lime rocks, in Smith- 
field. The dendrites are often superficial, though they 
aomenines extend through the mass. 
JMagnesian Carbonate of Lime, at do. of a smoky, or 
bis black colour, having a shining pearly lustre. Near 
it occurs a very pretty variety of 
6. White Limestone, figured with yellow and blue streaks 
and spots. 
7. Scaly Tale, colour pearly white, at Dexter’s lime 
rock, in do. 
8. Porcelain Clay at do. ; observed while digging a well. 
9. Pale rose-red Quartz, at do. 
10. Do. at Dedham, Mass. 
11. Crystals of Quartz, at Baclotie, Mass. Some hand- 
some groups have been found here, consisting of regular 
formed crystals of the common shape, held together by the 
intervention of a small quantity of dirt only. 
12. Amethyst, at Westborough, Mass. The crystals are 
of the hexaedral form, and occur loose in the ground, from 
which they are occasionally ploughed up. Many do not 
believe that they are natural productions, but suppose them 
to have been thus modelled by the inventive genius of the 
original lords of the soil, and preserve them as relics of the 
red man’s ingenuity. 
13. Ochrey red Oxide of Iron, at Scituate, eight miles
