and some varieties of anthraconite called also ma¬ 
drepore stone from a distant resemblance this sub¬ 
stance bears to some petrifactions of the order of 
corals ; fetid limestone , &c. 
( Cases 23 & 24.) These cases are occupied by suites 
of brown spar and of arragonite. Among the spe¬ 
cimens of the former are many of the scarce fibrous 
varieties, which were formerly referred to common 
fibrous limestone; among the latter are Werner’s 
columnar and acicular arragonite, as also fine spe¬ 
cimens of the remarkable coralloid variety from 
Eisenertz in Styria, formerly called flos ferri. 
[Case 25.) contains the flaates of lime . Among 
the numerous varieties of finer spar may be parti¬ 
cularized the rose-coloured primitive crystals from 
Chamouni; the phosphorescent massive fluor spar, 
called chlorophane, from Siberia; the varieties called 
fortification fluor; earthy and compact fluor, &e. 
{Case 2(5.) contains the sulphates of lime, which 
are divided into selenite or sparry gypsum, of which 
several regularly crystallized, acicular and lenticu¬ 
lar varieties are deposited; fibrous gypsum, with 
silky, lustre; foliated and compact gypsum, to which 
latter belongs the stalagmitical variety from Gua- 
daloupe; and the earthy gypsum, to which may 
be referred Haiiy’s niviform variety of sulphate of 
lime.—The remainder of this case is occupied by 
the anhy drous sulphate of lime, or the cube spar 
and muriacite of Werner, the compact variety of
