\Case 25 and part of^(S) contain the remain¬ 
ing calcareous salts, viz. the phosphates and sul¬ 
phates of lime. x4mong the phosphates may be 
seen several very scarce and interesting crystalli¬ 
sations of lYerner s apatite (such as the large cry¬ 
stal from St. Petersburg) ; the variety called aspa- 
■ragus-stone; the Norwegian apatite, called ?no- 
Toxitei also phosphorite, or earthy and compact 
phosphates of lime, and the pulverulent variety of 
the same, knoivn by the name of earth of hlarmo- 
Tosh, and vrhicn was formerly considered as huate 
of lime.—The s?Hphates of lime are divided into 
.selenite oi; sparry go’psum, of which several regu¬ 
larly crystallized, acicular and lenticular varieties 
are deposited; hbrous gypsum, with silky lustre; 
foliated and compact gypsum, to which latter be¬ 
longs the stalagmitical variety from Guadaloupe ; 
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 anhydrous 
suiphate of lime, or the cube spar and muriacite of 
ITerner, tlie compact variety of which is, in some 
- ■ parts of Italy, knov/nbv the name of bardiglione.
