II. BRIEF NOTICE OF FOREIGN MINING 
REGIONS. 
THE geographical positions of the different mining regions are learned 
with difficulty from the scattered notices in the course of a minera- 
_ logical treatise. A general review of the more important is therefore 
here given, to be used in connection with a good map. 
A course across Hurope, from southeast to northwest, passes over a 
large part of the mining regions, and it will be found most convenient 
to the memory to mention them in this order, commencing with the 
borders of Turkey. 
1. The mines of the Bannat in Southern Hungary, near the borders 
of Turkey (about latitude 45°), situated principally at Orawitza, Sasz- 
ka, Dognaszka, and Moldawa: argentiferous copper ores, chalcocite, 
malachite, copper pyrites, cuprite, galenite, ores of zinc, cobalt, native 
gold ; yielding silver, gold, copper, and lead ; rock: syenyte, and gran- 
ular limestone. 
2. Themines of Western Transylvania, about latitude 46°, situated 
between the rivers Maros and Avranyos, at Nagyag, Offenbanya, Sa- 
lathna, and Voéréspatak : native gold, telluric gold, telluric silver, 
white tellurium, with galenite, blende, orpiment, reaigar, stibnite, tet- 
rahedrite, rhodochrosite or carbonate of manganese, manganblende ; 
especially valuable in gold and silvér. 
3. In the mountain range, bounding Transylvania on the north, 
about latitude 47° 40’, at Nagybanya, Felsobanya, and Kapnik : na- 
tive gold, red silver, argentiferous tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite or pyri- 
tous copper, blende, realgar, stibnite or gray antimony ; rock: por- 
phyry. 
4. Inthe Kénigsberg Mountains, Northern Hungary, about latitude 
48° 45’, at Schemnitz and Kremnitz : argentiferous gaienite, and chal- 
copyrite, native gold, red silver ore, stibnite, some cobalt ores and bis- 
muth, arsenopyrite or mispickel ; particularly valuable for gold, sil- 
ver and antimony ; rock : diorite and porphyry.. 
5. To the east of the K6nigsberg Mountains, at Schmolnitz and Retz- 
banya : chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite, blende, stibnite ; particularly valu- 
able for copper ; rock: clay slate. 
6. Illyria, west of Hungary, at Bleiberg and Raibel (in Carinthia) : 
argentiferous galenite, calamine, with some chalcopyrite and other 
ores, affording silver and zine abundantly ; rock: mouxtain limestone. 
—Aliso at Idria, native mercury and cinnabar, in argillaceous schist.
