MINERALS, NEW ARRIVALS. 



It was a source of much regret that the finest of the Sicilian and Sardinian min- 

 erals that I collected last spring were sold during my short stay in London and 

 Paris. I am happy to announce that my agent in Sicily has just sent me 20 

 hoxes containing over 1000 specimens, many of them the finest ever seen, of 

 Sulphur, Selenite, Aragonite, Calcite pseudomorph after Aragonite, 

 Celestite, etc. These are charged to me at several thousands of dollars and my 

 agent has so thoroughly scoured the island that it is not likely that more such 

 specimens will be soon obtained again. It is impossible to describe such speci- 

 mens, but they range in price from $100 for an immense Museum Group of 

 clear crystals of Sulphur, covering every side of the mass, 20 inches by 17, to 

 fine, small groups at from 25c. to $1.00, or larger up to $25.00. The red crystals 

 and groups from $) .50 upward are especially fine. Some iridescent crystals and 

 groups are especially beautiful, from $1.00 upward. Crystals of Sulphur, about 

 1 inch in diameter, from 25c. upward. 



There are no specimens in the world more beautiful than the selenites showing 

 Aragonite and Sulphur in their limpid depths; from 50c. upward. 



From Sardinia have just been received about 600 specimens of Anglesite, 

 Phosgenite, Cerussite, etc., in very fine crystals on the gangue and detached. 



Fine Anglesite groups from 25c. upward. Fragments and separate crys- 

 tals, 5c. to $1.00. 



Phosgenite crystals on the gangue, from 50c. upward. Fragments and sep- 

 arate crystals from 5c. to $2.00. 



Cerussites, some finely twinned, from 10c. to $5.00.
