and the hauyne^ a mineral so named in lionour 
of the late celebrated French cry stall ographer. 
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 scapoUte, a Norwegian mi¬ 
neral, of which several varieties are known under 
different names, such as the vitreous scapolite, 
the compact and the common scapolite (called 
also *wernerite^ after the late illustrious professor 
of Freiberg) ; the talc-like scapolite (micarelle 
of some authors), &c.j the hergmannite^ and the 
fettstein of Werner are related to these.—Dis¬ 
tinct from these is the sodalite^ from Greenland, 
and a new concomitant substance, the eiidialyte 
of Stromeyer, composed chiefly of silica, zirco- 
nia, and soda.—In this table-case also begins the 
suite of specimens of feldspar^ which is continued 
in the next case; specimens of compact feldspar, 
among which are, the red variety from Sweden, 
frequently mistaken for horn-stone ; the weiss- 
stein of Werner ; the feldspath compacte tenace 
of Haiiy, which is the same as the jade of Saus- 
sure, called by some saussurite, &c. 
Case 12. In this glass-case are deposited the 
different varieties of the Labrador feldspar^ the 
naker-feldspar^ or adularia, and the commonfeld¬ 
spar, —Among the specimens of Labrador feld¬ 
spar (more properly called opalescent feldspar,
