Nat. Hist. 
(called grenatite in Switzerland): besides seve¬ 
ral varieties of the cruciform and other crystals 
from Britany, we have modifications of the simple 
crystals in mica-slate from St. Gothard, accom¬ 
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, &c. areHaiiy’s 
epidote , and Werner’s pistacite: of which several 
specimens are deposited in this case. Among 
these is also the violet racinganesiferous epidote , 
referred by some to the ores of manganese.— 
Zo'isite.—Axinite , 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 diop- 
side (now pyroxene) called alalite and mussite; 
the salite or malacolite, a species perfectly distinct 
from the common augite or pyroxene ; the fu¬ 
sible augite called euchysideriie — Jeffersonite , 
a mineral from New York, related to pyroxene.
