subspecies and varieties of sulphate of barytes, 
viz. the straight lamellar, variously crystallized ; 
the curved lamellar barytes; the columnar and 
prismatic barytes; and the radiated, also called 
bolognese spar, from Monte Paterno, near Bo¬ 
logna and from Bavaria ; the compact, including 
the fetid, barytes or hepatite, &c. 
(Case 27 .) Barytic salts continued. Among 
the specimens of carbonate of barytes, or wi¬ 
the rite, may be particularized the beautiful 
groups of double six-sided pyramids, and those 
of six-sided prismatic crystals.—Strontian salts : 
carbonate of strontian, also called strontianite, 
in prismatic and acicular crystals.'—Among the 
sulphates of strontian (celestine of Werner) the 
more remarkable specimens are the splendid 
groups of limpid prismatic crystals on sulphur, 
from Sicily ; the acicular variety in the hollows 
of compact sulphate of strontian, from Mont¬ 
martre ; the radiated and fibrous celestine, &c.— 
The remainder of this case is occupied by some 
other saline stony substances, viz. borate of 
magnesia or boracite, in separate crystals, and 
the same imbedded in gypsum : subsulphate of 
alumine, from Newhaven ; fluate of soda and 
alumine, or cryolite, from Greenland.
