curring four miles from Marietta, S. C., and in Henderson Co., N. C. 
has been examined by these gentlemen, who find it forming tabular 
crystals with oPz largely developed, and the new forms oP, 4Pz, 
and Pz occurring on it. Several of the crystals are apparently twins, 
and those from South Carolina, when doubly terminated, appear to be 
both hemihedral and hemimorphic. The material for analysis was 
obtained by washing kaolinized coarse granite. This, when corrected 
for impurities, yielded : 
Cb,O, TiO, Y,O, (etc.) FeO UO, PbO FeO, CaO H a Ins. SiO,

Prof. Rowland, to whom the South Carolina specimens were sub- 
mitted for microscopic study, found in them large amounts of scan- 
dium. The same investigators” have examined lemon-yellow 
auerlite from Price’s Land, Henderson Co., N. C., and a few other 
rare minerals. The auerlite has a density of 4.051-4.075, and a 
Sealey: P,O, = 8.58 ; SiO, = 6.84; ThO, = 72.16 (diff.) ; Fe,O, 
=I. Hoe 64. Sulphohalite they find to be probably tetrahe- 
aa Scathedtal The fayalite ® of Cheyenne Mt., Colorado, occurs 
sometimes in the granite in masses weighing as much as ten pounds.e 
Analysis: SiO,=27.66; FeO=65.79; MnO=4.17; CaO=—.47. Mr. 
Hidden ¥ also announces the discovery of bastnaesite and tysonite, near 
Manitou, Colorado, in a mass weighing over six kilograms, and gives 
four new localities for the occurrence of fergusonite, as follows: Asso- 
ciated with allanite, at Amelia Court House, Virginia; accompanying 
zircon, in the mines at Storeville, Anderson Co., South Carolina ; 
at the Grassy Creek Mica Mine, in Mitchell Co., N. C.; and in the 
gold placers near Golden, Rutherford Co., N. C. The orangite of 
dbö, Norway, is declared to be uranothorite. Its density is 4.322. 
A partial analysis gave 11.97 per cent. H,O ; 18.50 per cent. SiO, ; 
52.53 per cent. ThO, ; 9 per cent. UO,, and as quantities of other 
substances. Associated with beryl and spodumene in the granite of 
the Nickel Plate tin claim, in Pennington Co., South Dakota, are 
nodules of a phosphate near friphyllite in composition. It is dark 
green in mass, and light yellowish-green in thin splinters. Its hardness 
is 5, and density 3.612. Analysis” yielded:
