BRAUNITE.

From the above it will be seen that the Indian braunites have yielded 
three new forms, designated by the letters g, z, and 
r. The face (j, or (201), foimd only on one Kachar- 
wahi specimen, I have already noticed. The face ,•• is found quite 
commonly on the Kajlidongri specimens. Owing to the extreme narrow- 
ness of the edges representing this form, the images it gives are extremely 
faint and usually very blurred. Consequently it is not certain that it 
is always the same face that is present. The most likely one, however, 
seems to be that having the formula (865) ; sometimes; however, 
there is more than one of these faces between p and x ; one of these 
others may then correspond to (976). One face in the same position 
has also been noticed on a specimen of Kacharwahi bramiite. This 
was too dull for measurement, but is probably the same as that found on 
the Kajlidongri mineral. The third new face z, of the probable formula 
(425), is noticed above. 
vSome of the faces of the Indian braunite crystals often exhibit stria- 
. ^. tions. The commonest are horizontal ones, some- 
times taking the form of deep grooves, on the 
faces of X, parallel to the intersection of each face of this form with the 
corresponding face on the opposite side of the plane containing the 
lateral axes ; for example, parallel to the intersection of 421 and 42T 
More rarely the faces of the form y are striated parallel to their 
intersections with the faces of the form -p. Thus 423 would be striated 
parallel to its intersection with 111, and 423 to its intersection with 
111. Further, on the Kajlidongri specimens the pyramid faces, -p, 
are often not perfectly plane, but marked with two sets of crossing 
striations parallel to the intersections of each p face with the two under- 
lying X faces, the crystal being placed in the position shown in fig. 1. 
In size the crystals of Kacharwahi and Lohdongri range from a 
S' " f rystals diameter of a small fraction of an inch, to 2, 3, or 
even 4, inches across. The one crystal from Kode- 
gaon would be 2 to 3 inches in diameter if whole. The Kajlidongri 
crystals seldom reach such dimensions, being usually about J to ^ inch 
long; but some would be, if whole, 1 to \h inches long. (Plate 2) 
From the foregoing it will be seen that 10 forms have been recog- 
^.^^ { f r . iiized on the Indian braunites. The following 
Indian and foreign table shows their Symbols, and distribution amongst
