of the staurolite, and sometimes longitudinally grown 
together with them. 
{Case 14.) The contents of this table-case are:— 
chrysolite and olivine (peridot of Haiiy), the for¬ 
mer crystallized, and in cut and polished pieces; 
the latter as grains, in basaltic rocks and separate : 
among these is some of the olivine-like substance 
found in the cells of the Siberian meteoric iron. 
(Case 32.)—The substances which have been de¬ 
scribed under the names of thallite, arendalite, 
akantikone, delphinite, &c. are Haiiy’s cpidote, and 
Werner’s pistacite: of which several specimens are 
deposited in this case. Among these is also the vio¬ 
let mangancsiferous cpidote, referred by some to the 
ores of manganese.— Zdisiie.—Aocinite , variously 
crystallized, from Dauphin^, &c.—The pyroxene 
tribe, comprising the aagite, in separate crystals 
and imbedded in Vesuvian lava, together with 
groups of well defined crystals from Arendahl in 
Norway, where this substance occurs in primitive 
rocks, and the granular augite or coccolite; the 
varieties of diopside (now pyroxene) called alalite 
and mussile; the salite or malacolite, a species 
perfectly distinct from the common augite or py¬ 
roxene.—With these is placed the ilvaite, a mi¬ 
neral substance from the island of Elba, which 
is known also by the absurd names of jenite and 
yenite.—The remaining substances in this case re¬ 
late to the hornblende ox amphibolic minerals, which
