and Hausinann’s hotryolite, two scarce Norwegian 
minerals), this case contains all the subspecies and' 
varieties of sulphate ofharytes, viz, the straight la¬ 
mellar, variously crystallized; the curved lamellar 
barytes; the columnar and prismatic barytes; 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. 
(CaseVl.') 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 the sulphates of strontian (ce- 
lestine 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, viz, borate of magnesia^ or boracite, in 
separate crystals, and the same imbedded in gyp¬ 
sum; subsulphate of almnine, from Halle in the 
territory of Magdeburg, which was formerly consi¬ 
dered as pure alumine; fluate of soda and alumine, 
or cryolite^ pure and intermixed with brown iron- 
D 2 stone.
