gegeben von G. TscuERMAK. New series, i, Vienna, 1878.— 
The “ Siicninskepiocke Mittheilungen,” which, wee the editorship 
of Professor Tsche rmak, have appeared since 1871 in connection 
with the publications of the Austrian “ “ Geologische Reichsanstalt, 
have occupied an important — mong mineralogical publica- 
tions. With the present year a new series has been commence 
and in future the Journal will be published independently in 
yearly volumes of six numbers each, Its scope is at the same 
time enlarged both as regards original articles, and in the — 
given of mineralogical work published elsewhere, which form 
important part of each number. Its usefulness will be seis in- 
aime by the change. E. 8. D,

Hibbertite. Occurs as a loose powder of a lemon yellow color 
imbedded in purple kammererite. The percentage composition 
obtained for it after the deduction of the kammererite, — which 
it could not be entirely EN is as follows:—CaO 2 ‘46, MgO
