compact phosphates of lime, and the pulverulent 
variety of the same, known by the name of earth 
of Marmorosh, and which was formerly considered 
as fluate of lime.— The sulphates of lime are 
divided into selenite or sparry gypsum, of which 
several regularly crystallized, acicular and lenti- 
ticular varieties are deposited ; the fibrous gyp¬ 
sum, with silky lustre ; foliated and compact 
gypsum, to which latter belongs the staiagmitical 
variety from Guadaloupe ; and the earthy gypsum, 
to which may be referred Haiiy’s niviform variety 
of sulphate of lime.—The remainder of this case 
is occupied by the anhydrous sulphate of lime , or 
the cube spar and muriacite of Werner, the com¬ 
pact variety of which is, in some parts of Italy, 
known by the name of bardiglione. 
(Case 26.) Besides the continuation of the 
phosphates of lime, and the specimens of borate 
of lime and silica (to which latter belong Es- 
marck’s datholite and Hausmann’s botiyoliie , two 
scarce Norwegian minerals), this case contains all 
the subspecies and varieties of sulphate of barytes , 
viz. the straight lamellar, 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 compact, including the 
fetid barytes, or hepatite, &c. 
(Case 27.) Barytic salts continued. Among the 
specimens of carbonate of barytas , or witherite,
