 Champlain, where are extensive quarries of it. It is used 

 by the inhabitants of St. Albans as a building stone.

Epidote, crystalized and massive, Middlebury, Vt. 



The crystals are small, of a light green colour, and stri--

 the cavity, leaving a smaller cavity in the Epidote itself. — 

 This Epidote is all amorphous, and of a lamellar structure.
