Nat. Hist, may be seen several very scarce and interesting 
crystallizations of Werner's apatite (such as the 
large crystal from St. Petersburg) ; the variety 
called asparagus-stone; the Norwegian apatite 
called moroxite ; also the phosphorite or earthy 
and compact phosphates of lime, and the pul¬ 
verulent variety of the same, known by the 
name of earth of Marmorosh, and which was 
formerly considered as fluate of lime.—The sul¬ 
phates of lime are divided into selenite or sparry 
gypsum, of which several regularly crystallized, 
acicular and lenticular varieties are deposited ; 
the fibrous gypsum, with silky lustre ; foliated 
and compact gypsum, to which latter belongs the 
stalagmitical variety from Guadaloupe ; and the 
earthy gypsum, to which may be referred Hauy’s 
niviform variety of sulphate of lime.—The re¬ 
mainder of this case is occupied by the anhydrous 
sulphate of lime, or the cube spar and muriacite 
of Werner, the compact variety of which is, in 
some parts of Italy, known by the name of 
bardiglione. 
{Case 26 .) Besides the continuation of the 
phosphates of lime, and the specimens of borate of 
lime and silica (to which latter belong Esmarck’s 
datholite and Hausmann’s botryolite, two scarce 
Norwegian minerals), this case contains all the
