EXxualsits : 
Mr. Henry G. Smirn exhibited a specimen of Lepidolite 
(Lithia mica) from near Norseman, West Australia. This speci- 
men of lepidolite was found six miles south of Norseman near 
Dundas, Western Australia. Norseman was named by a Mr. 
Sinclair, who came from the north isles of Scotland and who found 
the first mine there (the Norseman Reward). It is one hundred 
and forty-four miles north of Esperance Bay and one hundred 
and twenty-five miles south of Coolgardie. It is situated in the 
Dundas gold-tield. I am indebted to Mr. M, E. Fennessy for the 
Specimen and the information. Lepidolite is one of the substances 
from which the lithia salts of commerce are obtained ; it also 
usually contains the rare.elements cesium and rubidium. It is 
far from being a common mineral; in Australia it is of rare 
Occurrence. Professor Liversidge states that it “is reported by 
Ranft to occur at Black Swamp, Mole Tableland, New England.” 
Tam expecting shortly to receive more material when an analysis 
will be made and submitted to the Society.
