the Siberian meteoric iron (Case32).- —The sub¬ 
stances which have been described under the 
names of thallite, arendalite, akantikon, del- 
phinite, are Hauy’s epidote, and Werner’s pis- 
tacite : of which several specimens are deposited 
in this case. Among these is also the violet 
manganesiferous epidote, referred by some to the 
ores of manganese.—Zo'isite.—Axinite, various¬ 
ly crystallized, from Dauphine, &c.—The py¬ 
roxene tribe, comprizing the augite, in separate 
crystals and imbedded in Vesuvian lava, toge¬ 
ther with groups of well defined crystals from 
Arendahl in Norway, where this substance oc¬ 
curs in primitive rocks, and the granular augite 
or coccolite; the variety of diopside (now py¬ 
roxene) called alalite; the salite or malacolite, a 
species perfectly distinct from the common augite 
or pyroxene.—With these is placed a specimen of 
the ilvait, a new mineral substance from the is¬ 
land of Elba: it is known also by the absurd 
names of jenite and yenite.—The remaining 
substances in this case relate to the hornblende or 
amphibolic minerals, which are continued in the 
two next cases : basaltic hornblende from Vesu¬ 
vius, common hornblende, &c. 
(Case 15 and part of l6.) Continuation of am¬ 
phibolic minerals: only a few specimens of that 
widely diffused substance, the common horn-
