whether this manganese-garnet is to be referred to spessartite. The 
Kulu garnets are, however, all dodecahedra without any modifying 
faces. The Jothvad spessartite noted on page 170 is also dodecahedral. 
In a few cases the corner A of the trapezohedron in spessartite is 
modified by the presence of the four faces of the hexoctahedron, s or (321), 
usually very small (see fig. 17). The garnets showing these face? are

from Waregaon and Mandri in the Nagpur district, from Hatora in 
the Bhandara district, and from Bhui Hurki in the Balaghat district. The 
best examples of hexoctahedral faces are seen on some small orange 
trapezohedra on a specimen brought by Mr. A. Whyte from Bhui Hurki. 
The Waregaon crystals sometimes show the faces of the dodecahedron 
with the hexoctahedral faces beveUing the edges between the n and d 
faces, as in figure 18. According to Dana octahedral faces are very rarely
