454 Note on an Inscription. [No. 6. 



But these are only to be taken as approximative quantities, for 

 the specimen, from its blackening which takes place in the crucible 

 when the lead has been separated, evidently contains some peculiar 

 matter, and the quantity of water which rises as it approaches the low

 a portion of the external decomposed white crust was unavoidably 

 taken in the analysis made. We have a right however to claim the 

 discovery of it for Lieut. Haughton, and I have therefore named it, 

 provisionally, Hatjghtonite.
