MEMOIR ON EMERY. 9 



Here again the emery was found on the surface, but not in 

 such abundance as at Grumuch-dagh, and moreover the soil is 

 not as deep as in the latter place. The emery as seen in the 

 marble at Kulah is capable of being studied with the greatest 

 satisfaction, particularly as two or three places in the rock 

 have been quarried. 



Adula. — JSTot far from this town, which is about twelve or 

 fifteen miles east of Kulah, I have also discovered emery; only, 

 however, in very small quantity. 



Manser. — About twenty-four miles north of Smyrna emery 

 is found in small quantity in the soil. In this, as well as in the 

 former place, white granular limestone is found. 



Island of JSficaria, Grecian Archipelago. — I have also been 

 able to examine thoroughly the emery of this .island, which 

 promises to be of importance to the arts.. It is only within 

 about twelve months that it has been brought to light. The 

 mineral of this locality presents some peculiar features, which 

 will be alluded to hereafter. The geology is the same as that 

 of the other localities already alluded to ; namely, when found 

 in contact with the rock it is always with limestone. 



Island of Samos. — This locality has furnished me with only 

 a few nodules imbedded in the soil, with a little calcareous rock 

 attached to the surface. 



Island of Naxos. — This old and well-known locality is here 

 alluded to simply because it has furnished me with specimens, 

 the examination of which forms a part of this memoir. It is 

 found in large blocks mixed with a red soil and also imbedded 

 in white marble. It is taken principally from the north and 

 east sides of the island; the best comes from Vothrie, nine 

 miles from the shore, and is embarked at Sulionos. Another 

 good locality is at Apperanthos, seven miles from the shore, 

 and it is embarked at a small port called Moutzona. In 

 the south of the island it is found near Yasso. It is in such 

 abundance on this island that, notwithstanding the immense 

 quantity carried off, it is not yet found necessary to quarry 

 it from the rock. 



CONCLUSIONS WITH REFERENCE TO THE GEOLOGY OF EMERY. 



The localities at Gumuch-dagh and Kulah are those which 

 afforded me the best means of studying the geology of emery,
