[Vol. VII, No. 3, 
quartz is present, but very little biotite is found and apparently 
no feldspar. Instead of the last named mineral, however, a great 
number of brown garnets occur to such an extent as to give the 
rock a brownish appearance. The largest ones are more than one 
eighth of an inch in diameter. Among the whitish quartz and 
between its layers they produce a very striking appearance, ly¬ 
ing mostly separated from each other. On the surface, where 
the rock is disintegrated, the garnets number about fifteen to 
eighteen to the square inch, lying in grooves of greater or less 
depth, thereby giving the surface of the rock a dotted appearance.
