been mistaken for mesotype and stilbite.— Anal - 
time, among the crystallized varieties of which 
are remarkably large specimens of the trapezoidal 
modification.— Chabasite or chabasie, in groups 
of primitive rhombohedral and modified crystals. 
(Case 11.) Continuation ofzeolitic substances: 
—'prelmite , crystallized and massive, the grass- 
green variety of which, discovered in South 
Africa by the Abbe Rochon, has been mistaken 
for chrysolite, chrysoprase, and even emerald. 
To this belongs also the koupholite of Vauquelin, 
and probably also the karpholite of Werner. The 
substance known by the name of Chinese jade 
(or stone You , see Room I. table 7.) may per¬ 
haps likewise be referred to prehnite.— Harmo - 
tome , or cross stone, both in simple and cruci¬ 
form crystals, from Oberstein, Strontian, and 
Andreasberg in the Hartz, which last locality 
has procured to this substance the names of an- 
dreolite and hercinite.—Among those substances 
deposited in this case which are in some respects 
related to zeolitic minerals, may be observed the 
lazulite or lapis lazuli, which furnishes the valuable 
pigment known by the name of ultramarine ; 
and the hauyne , a mineral so named in honour 
of the late celebrated French crystallographer. 
Intermediate between the zeolitic substances and 
feldspar, are placed some mineral species which 
cannot be referred to either of these tribes: among 
them are the meionite and sommite , both from 
Vesuvius \ the scapolite , a Norwegian mineral, of 
which
