nave in this, the shell limestone , the most esteem¬ 
ed variety of which is that from Carinthia, called 
lumachella or fire marble. 
(Case 23.) Of the carbonates of lime deposit¬ 
ed in this case the most remarkable are the va¬ 
rieties of slate spar (schiefer-spath of Werner), 
those of brown spar , and particularly those of 
arragonite, among the crystallized varieties of 
which is that from Iglo in Hungary, called igloit 
by some mineralogists; also magnificent speci¬ 
mens of the remarkable coralloid variety of ar¬ 
ragonite from Eisenertz in Styria, formerly called 
Jlos ferri. 
(Case £4.) Contains the Jluates of lime ,— 
Among the numerous varieties of fluor spar may 
be particularized the rose-coloured primitive crys¬ 
tals from Chamouni; the chlorophane from Sibe¬ 
ria; the singular, pale seladon-green, octohedral 
variety from Beeralston, in Devonshire, with white 
earthy fluor interposed between its laminae ; the 
varieties called fortification fluor; earthy and 
compact fluor, &c. 
(Case %5 and part of 26.) The remaining cal¬ 
careous salts, viz . the phosphates, sulphates, and 
arseniates of lime. Among the phosphates may 
be seen several very scarce and interesting crys¬ 
tallizations of Werner’s apatite (such as the large 
crystal from St. Petersburg) ; the variety called 
asparagus-stone ; the Norwegian apatite, called 
moroocite ; also the phosphorite , or earthy and 
f compact
