( Case 25 and part of 26) contain the remain¬ 
ing calcareous salts, viz, the phosphates and sul¬ 
phates of lime. Among the phosphates may be 
seen several very scarce and interesting c^stalli- 
zations of Werner’s apatite (such as the large cry- 
'Stal from St. Petersburg); the variety called aspa~ 
ragus-stone; the Norwegian apatite, called mo~ 
roxite; also the phosphorite^ or earthy and compact 
phosphates of lime, and the pulverulent variety of 
the same, known by the name of earth of Marmo- 
rosh, and which was formerly considered as fluate 
of lime.—^The sulphates of lime are divided into 
selenite or sparry gypsum, of which several regu¬ 
larly crystallized, acicular and lenticular varieties 
are deposited; fibrous 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 
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.
