panied by prisms of kyanite perfectly similar to 
those of the staurolite, and sometimes longitu¬ 
dinally grown together with them. 
(Case 14 .) The contents of this table-case 
are:— chrysolite and olivine (peridot of Haiiy), 
the former crystallized, and in cut and polished 
pieces ; the latter as grains, in basaltic rocks and 
separate: to which is added some of the olivine¬ 
like substance found in the cells of the Siberian 
meteoric iron (Case 49.) —The substances which 
have been described under the names of thallite, 
arendalite,akantikone, delphinite, he, are Haiiy’s 
epidote , and Werner’s pistacite: of which several 
specimens are deposited in this case. Among 
these is also the violet manganesiferous epidote , 
referred by some to the ores of manganese.— 
Zoisite.—Aocinite , variously crystallized, from 
Dauphine, &c.—The pyroxene tribe, comprising 
the augite , in separate crystals and imbedded in 
Vesuvian lava, together with groups of well de¬ 
fined crystals from Arendahl in Norway, where 
this substance occurs in primitive rocks, and the 
granular augite or coccolite ; the varieties of 
diopside (now pyroxene) called alalite and mus - 
site ; the salite or malacolite, a species perfectly 
distinct from the common augite or pyroxene.— 
The remaining substances in this case relate to 
the hornblende —or amphibolic minerals, which 
are continued in the two next cases: basaltic horn¬ 
blende from Vesuvius, common hornblende, he,
