tallized, from Dauphine, —The pyroxene 
tribe, comprising the migite, in separate crystals 
and imbedded in Vesuvian lava, together with 
groups of well defined crystals from Arendahl 
in Norway, where this substance occurs in pri¬ 
mitive rocks, and the granular augite or cocco- 
lite; the varieties of diopside (now pyroxene) 
called alalite and mussite; the salite or malaco- 
lite, a species perfectly distinct from the com¬ 
mon augite or pyroxene; the fusible augite 
called eiichysiderite, — Jeffersonite^ a mineral from 
New York, related to pyroxene. The remain¬ 
ing substances in this case relate to the horn¬ 
blende —or amphibolic minerals, which are con¬ 
tinued in the two next cases: basaltic horn¬ 
blende from Vesuvius, common hornblende, &c. 
Case 15 and part of 16. Continuation of 
amphibolic minerals. Only a few specimens of 
that widely diffused substance, the common horn- 
blende^ could be deposited in this part of the 
collection.—Between this and the substance 
called diallagite^ or diallage (in the adjoining 
and opposite case, No. 16), are placed the hy¬ 
per sthene of Haiiy {Labrador hornblende of Wer¬ 
ner) and the anthophyllite^ a substance from 
Kongsberg in Norway, nearly allied to them.—• 
The actinolite or strahlstein (of which we have 
the common, glassy, and fibrous varieties) like¬ 
wise passes into substances contained in the 
opposite glass-case, especially the amianthoide 
from Oisans, and the fibrous actinote, which is 
SALOON.
