cruciform crystals, from Oberstein, Strontian, and 
Andreasberg in the Hartz, which last locality has 
procured to this substance the names of andreolite 
and hercinite.—Among those substances deposited 
in this case which are in some respects related to 
zeolitic minerals, may be observed the lazulite or 
lapis lazuli, which furnishes the valuable pigment 
known by the name of ultramarine; and the haiiyne, 
a mineral so called in honour of the celebrated 
French crystallographer. Intermediate between the 
zeolitic substances and feldspar, are placed some 
mineral species which cannot be referred to either 
of these tribes : among them are the meionite and 
S07)i7nite, both from Vesuvius ; the scapolite,^ 2 i Nor¬ 
wegian mineral, of which several varieties are known 
under different names, such as the vitreous scapo- 
iite, the compact and the common scapolite (called 
also weimei'ite^ after the late illustrious professor of 
Freiherg); the talc-like scapolite (micare*ie of some 
authors), &c. Also the hergma7mite^ and the fctt- 
stem of Werner are related to these.—More closely 
allied to feldspar is the substance from Krieglach 
in Tyrol [blauspath, Worn.), which was formerly 
considered as a variety of compact feldspar; near 
which is placed the azurite of Vorau and of Salz¬ 
burg, massive and crystallized.—In this table-case 
also begins the suite of specimens oi feldspar^ which 
is continued in the next case; specimens of com¬ 
pact feldspar, among which are, the red variety from 
Sweden,
