and Haiismanii’s hotryoUte, two scarce Norwegian 
minerals), this case contains all the subspecies and 
varieties of sulphate of barytes^ viz. the straight la¬ 
mellar, variously crystallized ; the curved lamellar 
barytes ; the columnar and prismatic barytes 5 and 
the radiated, also called Bolognese spar, from Monte 
Paterno near Bologna, and from Bavaria; the com¬ 
pact, including the fetid barytes or hepatite, &c. 
(^Case^J.) Barytic salts continued. Among the 
specimens of carbonate of barytes^ or witherite, 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, which have sometimes been mistaken for 
arragonite.—Among ^lesidphates of strontian (ge- 
iestine 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 
Montmartre; the same in fissures of flint; the ra¬ 
diated and fibrous celestine, &c.—The remainder 
of this case is occupied by some other saline stony 
substances, vh. borate of magnesia, or boraeite, in 
separate crystals, and the same imbedded in gyp¬ 
sum; subsulphate of aliunine, from Halle in the 
territory of Magdeburg, which was formerly consi¬ 
dered as pure alumine ; fluate of soda and almnine, 
or cryolite, pure and intermixed with brown iron- 
D 2 stone.
