ZARNICH, in Natural Hijlory, the name of a genus of 

 foffils, the charaders of which are thefe : They are in- 

 flammable fubllances, not compofed of plates or flakes, 

 but of a plain, fimple, and. uniform ftrufture, not flexile nor 

 elattic, foluble in oil, and burning with a whitilh flame, and 

 noxious fmell, like garlic. ... 



That thefi foffils are really fulphuretted arfenics is evident 

 from fundry experiments. When fet on tire, the arfenical 

 as well as the fulphureous fmell is plainly dillinguithable. 

 If triturated with quickfilver, and expofed to a ftiitable 

 heat, the fulphur is detained by the mercury, and a pure 

 white arfenic fublimes. A mixture of fixed alkaline fait, 

 with any vegetable or animal fubftance, as the compound 

 called by the affayers black flux, in like manner keeps down 

 the fulphur, and at the fame time revives the arfenic into its 

 reguline or metallic form. Thefe native minerals have been 

 ufed as medicines in the eaftern countries, and by fome im- 

 prudently recommended in our own. Lewis. 



Of this genus there are four known fpecies : a red one, 

 which is the true Sandarach ; a yellow one, found in the 

 mines of Germany, and brought to us under the name of 

 orpiment ; a greenilh one, common alfo in the mines of 

 Germany, and fold in our colour-(hops under the name of a 

 coarfe orpiment ; it is alfo found in the tin-mines of Corn- 

 wall ; and a whitifh one, which has the property of turning 

 black ink into a florid red, common in the mines of Ger- 

 many, but of little value. Hill.
