of emerald or beryl from Limoges in France, 
and from Rabenstein in Bavaria, the latter ac¬ 
companied by columbium.—Near the beryl is 
placed the euclase , a rare crystallized mineral sub¬ 
stance, discovered by Dombey, in Peru, and 
which has also lately been found in the chlorite 
slate at Capao, near Villaricca in Brasil.—The 
pycnite , referred by Werner to the beryl, under 
the name of shorlous beryl, and considered as a 
variety of topaz by Haiiy. The pyrophysalite , 
from Fall Inn in Sweden, described by the same 
crystallographer as a variety of topaz.—A series 
of crystals of Saxon, Brasilian, and Siberian to¬ 
pazes, among which there are several new modi¬ 
fications; Saxon varieties, imbedded in the to¬ 
paz rock, an aggregate of topaz, shori, quartz, and 
sometimes mica.—These cases also contain the 
tourmaline and common shori. Among the va¬ 
rieties of the former may be specified the rubellite, 
also called siberite (tourmaline apyre of Haiiy), a 
remarkable specimen of which, both with regard 
to form and volume, is here preserved : it was 
presented by the King of Ava to the late Colonel 
Symes, when on an embassy to that country, and 
afterwards deposited by the latter in Mr. Greville’s 
collection. Other red and bluevarieties from 
Siberia, and from Massachusets in North Ame¬ 
rica ; the flesh-coloured tourmaline from Rosena 
in Moravia (which is by some considered as a va¬ 
riety of pycnite),&c.---Varieties ofcommon shori.
