the Siberian meteoric iron (Case 32). —The sub¬ 
stances which have been described under the 
names of Thallite, Arendalit, Akantikon, Del- 
phinite, are Haiiy’s Epidote, and Werner’s Pis- 
tacite: of which several specimens are deposited 
in this case. Among these is also the violet 
manganesiferous epidcte, referred by some to the 
ores of manganese.—Zoi'site.—Axinite, various¬ 
ly crystallized, from Dauphine, &c.—The py¬ 
roxene tribe, comprizing the augite, in separate 
crystals and imbedded in Vesuvian lava, toge¬ 
ther with groups of well defined crystals from 
Arendahl in Norway, where it occurs in primi¬ 
tive rocks, and the granular augite or coccolite; 
the variety of diopside (now pyroxene) called 
alalite ; the salite or malacolite, a species per¬ 
fectly distinct from the common augite or py¬ 
roxene.—With these is placed a specimen of the 
Ilvait, a new mineral substance from the island of 
Elba: it is known also by the absurd names of 
jenite and yenite.—The'remaining substances in 
this case relate to the hornblende or am])hibolic 
minerals, which are continued in the two next 
cases: — balsaltic hornblende from Vesuvius, 
common hornblende, he. 
(Case 15 and part of l6.) Continuation of am 
phibolic minerals : only a few specimens of that 
widely diffused substance, the common horn¬ 
blende.
