APATITES OF NORWAY. 
Under the heading of apatites com e the phosphate deposits of Nor- 
way. They are found on the southern coast, and extend from Lange. 
s und Fjord to Arendal. They are also found scatteringly in KoDgs- 
berg, in the parish of Snarum. Most of them are fluor-apatites, though 
they all contain some chlorine, and the apatite from Snarum contains 
2.71 per cent, of this element. 1 The apatite occurs in both the crystal- 
line and the massive form, and varies from white and yellow to green 
'A dark-blue or greenish-blue variety of crystalline apatite is found at Arendal, 
and is known as moropite.
