cinncmon-stone , chiefly from Ceylon, which was 
supposed to contain zirconia, till a more accu¬ 
rate analysis proved it to be nearly allied to ve- 
suvian : most of the hyacinths of commerce are 
cinnamon-stone. 
Case 35. The greater part of this case is ap¬ 
propriated to the various species and varieties 
of the garnet tribe, formerly divided into noble 
and common garnets. Among the more distinct 
chemical species now established are :—the py- 
rope or chrome garnet, generally called Bohe¬ 
mian garnet, which occurs in rounded grains, and 
also imbedded in serpentine, &c.;—the colo- 
phonite , so called from its resemblance to resin, 
from Norway andNorth America;— themelanite , 
found particularly in the neighbourhood of 
Frascati;—the grossular or Wilni garnet, a fine 
light-green species from Kamschatka, so called 
from the fancied resemblance which its separate 
crystals bear to a gooseberry ;—the allochroite , 
also called splintery garnet, from Dram men in 
Norway ;—the romanzovite . In this Case are 
also deposited—the gehlenite , from the Mon- 
zoni in Tyrol, to which species the melilite from 
Capo di Bove, near Rome, is referred by some 
mineralogists ;—the iolite or pelioma, now gene¬ 
rally called dichroite (from its exhibiting two 
different colours when viewed in different posi¬ 
tions), massive and crystallized, from Capo di 
Gate, Greenland, and Orayervi in Finland
