to rosin, from Arendal, in Norway; the grossular or Wilui garnet, a 
fine light-green species from Kamschatka, so called from the fancied 
resemblance which its separate crystals bear to a gooseberry; the allo- 
chroite, also called splintery garnet, from Norway; the romanzovite ; 
Haiiy’s essonite (hessonite) or cinnamon-stone, chiefly from Ceylon, 
w 7 hich was supposed to contain zirconia, till a more accurate analysis 
proved it to be nearly allied to vesuvian and garnet (most of the hya¬ 
cinths of commerce are cinnamon-stone). In this Case are also deposited 
-_the gehlenite , from the Mouzoni in Tyrol, to which species the melilite 
from Capo di Bove, near Rome, is now generally referred;—the cor- 
dierite , also known by the names of pelioma , iolite, and dichroite, 
massive and crystallized, from Cabo de Gata, from Greenland, Boden- 
mais in Bavaria, and Orayervi in Finland ( steinheilite ) ;—the sordawa- 
lite from Finland;—the staurolite, called also grenatite and cross-stone, 
among the specimens of which may be specified the fine mackled 
crvstals from Brittany, and the modifications of the simple crystals 
from St. Gothard, accompanied by prisms of disthene, perfectly simi¬ 
lar to those of the staurolite, and sometimes longitudinally grown 
together with them ;—the karpholite from Bohemia, &c. 
Case 37. One half of this Table Case is set apart for the silicates 
containing glucina and alumina, the principal species of wdiich is the 
beryl , including the emerald , a gem which owes its beautiful green 
colour to oxide of chromium : the most remarkable specimens of 
emerald are those from Santa Fe, from the Ural, from Heubachthal 
in Bavaria, and from Mount Zahara in Egypt;—among those of the 
beryl or aquamarine, may be specified the fine blue and yellow varieties 
from Mursinsk in the Ural, the colourless limpid crystals, and those half 
blue and transparent, half white and opaque, from Odontchelong near 
Nerchinsk;—the bluish and greenish opaque beryls from Acworth in 
New Hampshire, where massy crystals have been found (the two im¬ 
perfect prisms placed on the shelf near this Table Case weigh, the one 
eighty-three, the other nearly forty-three pounds);—the euclase , a 
rare mineral, discovered by Dombey in Peru, but since only found 
as loose crystals, at Capao, near Villaricca, in Brazil, and in the chlo¬ 
rite slate of that territory;—the phenacite or phenakite of Norden- 
skiold, (which as a bisilicate of glucine, might, be referred to the 
silicates with one base in Table 26.) occurs, together with emerald, in 
the Ural, and in brown iron-stone at Framont, in Alsace;—the helvine 
from Schwarzenberg, considered as a triple silicate of glucina, iron, 
and manganese—Silicates containing yttria and protoxide of cerium *; 
to these belong the gadolinite , the allanite or cerine , the orthite and 
pyrorthite , as likewise the tshefkinite of Rose. The rest of this Table 
Case is occupied by the oxide of titanium and the titanates, to the former 
of wdiich belong—the rutile , also called titan-shorl, massive and crystal¬ 
lized, the reticulated variety, generally with golden tarnish, from Mou- 
tier, near the Mont Blanc;—the capillary rutile in rock crystal from Bra¬ 
zil, in beryl from the East Indies, &c.;—the anatase (oisanite or octa- 
hedrite), which occurs only crystallized, chiefly at Bourg d’Oisans,in 
Dauphiny. Among the titanates the more remarkable are—the silico- 
* These are at present placed in the next Table Case.
