in large flat octahedral crystals from Norway, with 
epidote, &c. also the variety called, by Saussure, 
rayonnante en gouttiere, from St. Gothard, on 
feldspar, with chlorite, &c.— Titan-shorl , also 
called rutile; massive, crystallized, and fibrous, 
to which latter belongs the variety with golden 
tarnish, from Moutier, near the Montblanc; the 
acicular crystals of rutile in rock crystal, &c. ; 
the ferriferous oxides (siderotitanium of K3aproth), 
some varieties of which may be considered as 
titaniferous oxides of iron, and to which may be 
referred the black sand called menachanite, and 
the iserine , in loose grains and imbedded ;— 
specimens of anatase , or octahedrite, from Dau- 
phine :—the same, together with a scarce sub¬ 
stance called crichtonite (craytonite of Bournon), 
which has been considered by some as a variety 
of helvine, and as a silicate of zirconia by others, 
but appears to be a silicate of titanium. The re¬

antimony: native antimony , from Allemont, and 
from Salain Sweden, some varieties of which are 
arseniferous;— sulphuret of antimony , or grey anti¬ 
mony (the most common ore of this metal), oc¬ 
curs compact, foliated, radiated, and plumose : 
the more remarkable among these are the speci¬ 
mens of crystallized radiated antimony in fine 
groups, especially from Transylvania; radiated 
grey antimony with barytes, realgar, &c.; the
