^(,^13 S^cparfwcnf of ihe ^nieviov U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM. Serial Number 44 BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM No. 33. PUBLISHED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION. 0C124 /../^' ^) WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1889. ADVERTISEMENT. This work (Bulletin No. 33) is the forty-fourth of a series of papers intended to illustrate the collections of natural history and ethnology belonging to the United States, and constituting the National Museum, of which the Smithsonian Institution was placed in charge by the act of Congress of August 10, 1846. It has been i^repared at the request of the Institution, and printed by authority of the honorable Secretary of the Interior. The publications of the National Museum consists of two series—the Bulletins, of which this is No. 33, in continuous series, and the Proceed- ings, of which the tenth volume is now in press. The volumes of Proceedings are printed, signature by signature, each issue having its own date, and a small edition of each signature is dis- tributed to libraries promptly after its publication. From time to time the publications of the Museum which have been issued separately are combined together and issued as volumes of the Miscellaneous Collections. These are struck off from the stereotype plates from which the first edition was printed, and in this form are distributed by the Smithsonian Institution to libraries and scientific societies throughout the world. Volume 13 of these collections includes. Bulletins 1 to 10 inclusive ; volume 19, volumes 1 and 2 of the Proceed- ings; volume 22, volumes 3 and 4 of the Proceedings; and volume 23, Bulletins 11 to 15 inclusive. Full lists of the publications of the Museum may be found in the cur- rent catalogues of the publications of the Smithsonian Institution. Papers intended for publication in the Proceedings and Bulletins of the National Museum are referred to the Committee on Publications, composed as follows : T. H. Bean, A. Howard Clark (editor), Otis T. Mason, Leonhard Stejneger, Frederick W. True, and Lester F. Ward. SPENCER F. BAIRD, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Smithsonian Institution, Washington, January 7, 1887. CATALOGUE OF MINERALS AND SYNONYMS, T. EGLESTON, Ph. D. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1887. : PREFACE. This catalogue was commenced in the year 1867 for use in arranging the collections of the School of Mines of Columbia College, but after many mouths' labor, when the work was nearly completed up to that date, it was abandoned on account of the press of other duties. The collections have since that time increased to such an extent that the necessity of a Museum catalogue has impressed itself upon me many times, but other duties prevented my taking it up. In the last year, however, having occasion to make some investigations and finding it almost impossible to get at the different synonyms of the various min- erals on account of the imperfections of the indices of the various works, the work was taken up again and finished. It was found that the progress of the science since 1867 had been so great that the work previously done had to be altogether abandoned, so that all that is left of it is the general plan. It is hardly to be hoped that this catalogue is without errors, or that every name which has been published has been found. There are, however, several thousand more names contained in it than in any other published index. In doing the work there have been consulted first of all the collections of the School of Mines, and also the following works (1) Dana's System of Mineralogy. New York, 1885. (2) Dana's first, second, and third Supplements. New York, 1885. (3) American Journal of Science, 1880 to 1885. (4) Elemente der Mineralogie. Naumann. Tenth edition. Leipsic. 1877. (5) Cours de Mineralogie. Delafosse. 3 vols. Paris, 1862. (6) Traits de Mineralogie. Dufrenoy. 5 vols. Second edition. 1859. (7) Websky die Minerale Species. Breslan, 1868. (8) Readwin's Index Mineralogy. London, 1867. (9) Bristow's Glossary Mineralogy. London, 1861. (10) Plattner's Blowpipe Analysis. New York, 1873. (11) Cleaveland's Mineralogy. Second edition. 1822.

(15) Haidinger's Translation of Mohs. Edinburgh, 1825. (16) Mineralogical Magazine. London, 1877 to 1884. Kone of these have been found, after careful observation, to have had a complete index. The need of such a collection of synonyms has been such a necessity in the management of the collection of the School of Mines that it is hoped it will be found to be useful in other museums. The names of the species have been printed in capitals, those of doubtful species in italics, and those of synonyms in ordinary type. As 5 6 BULLETIN 33, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. far as possible the uame of the authority for the species has been given in italics. Tlie sjuonyms under each species have been divided into classes where that is necessary, and then arranged alphabetically for convenience in referring to them. The symbols representing t. e com- position of the minerals have been given according to the new system, as that seems mostly to accord with the modern progress. It would not have been possible for me, with all my other duties, to have done this work without the very careful and zealous assistance '-f Mr. A. J.

  • The Regional Distribution of Zeolites in the Basalts of the Faroe Islands and the Significance of Zeolites As Palaeo- Temperature Indicators

    The Regional Distribution of Zeolites in the Basalts of the Faroe Islands and the Significance of Zeolites As Palaeo- Temperature Indicators

    The regional distribution of zeolites in the basalts of the Faroe Islands and the significance of zeolites as palaeo- temperature indicators Ole Jørgensen The first maps of the regional distribution of zeolites in the Palaeogene basalt plateau of the Faroe Islands are presented. The zeolite zones (thomsonite-chabazite, analcite, mesolite, stilbite-heulandite, laumontite) continue below sea level and reach a depth of 2200 m in the Lopra-1/1A well. Below this level, a high temperature zone occurs characterised by prehnite and pumpellyite. The stilbite-heulan- dite zone is the dominant mineral zone on the northern island, Vágar, the analcite and mesolite zones are the dominant ones on the southern islands of Sandoy and Suðuroy and the thomsonite-chabazite zone is dominant on the two northeastern islands of Viðoy and Borðoy. It is estimated that zeolitisa- tion of the basalts took place at temperatures between about 40°C and 230°C. Palaeogeothermal gradients are estimated to have been 66 ± 9°C/km in the lower basalt formation of the Lopra area of Suðuroy, the southernmost island, 63 ± 8°C/km in the middle basalt formation on the northernmost island of Vágar and 56 ± 7°C/km in the upper basalt formation on the central island of Sandoy. A linear extrapolation of the gradient from the Lopra area places the palaeosurface of the basalt plateau near to the top of the lower basalt formation. On Vágar, the palaeosurface was somewhere between 1700 m and 2020 m above the lower formation while the palaeosurface on Sandoy was between 1550 m and 1924 m above the base of the upper formation.
  • Metamorphism of Sedimentary Manganese Deposits

    Metamorphism of Sedimentary Manganese Deposits

    Acta Mineralogica-Petrographica, Szeged, XX/2, 325—336, 1972. METAMORPHISM OF SEDIMENTARY MANGANESE DEPOSITS SUPRIYA ROY ABSTRACT: Metamorphosed sedimentary deposits of manganese occur extensively in India, Brazil, U. S. A., Australia, New Zealand, U. S. S. R., West and South West Africa, Madagascar and Japan. Different mineral-assemblages have been recorded from these deposits which may be classi- fied into oxide, carbonate, silicate and silicate-carbonate formations. The oxide formations are represented by lower oxides (braunite, bixbyite, hollandite, hausmannite, jacobsite, vredenburgite •etc.), the carbonate formations by rhodochrosite, kutnahorite, manganoan calcite etc., the silicate formations by spessartite, rhodonite, manganiferous amphiboles and pyroxenes, manganophyllite, piedmontite etc. and the silicate-carbonate formations by rhodochrosite, rhodonite, tephroite, spessartite etc. Pétrographie and phase-equilibia data indicate that the original bulk composition in the sediments, the reactions during metamorphism (contact and regional and the variations and effect of 02, C02, etc. with rise of temperature, control the mineralogy of the metamorphosed manga- nese formations. The general trend of formation and transformation of mineral phases in oxide, carbonate, silicate and silicate-carbonate formations during regional and contact metamorphism has, thus, been established. Sedimentary manganese formations, later modified by regional or contact metamorphism, have been reported from different parts of the world. The most important among such deposits occur in India, Brazil, U.S.A., U.S.S.R., Ghana, South and South West Africa, Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Japan etc. An attempt will be made to summarize the pertinent data on these metamorphosed sedimentary formations so as to establish the role of original bulk composition of the sediments, transformation and reaction of phases at ele- vated temperature and varying oxygen and carbon dioxide fugacities in determin- ing the mineral assemblages in these deposits.

The role of the interlayer cations and water moleculesin the torbernite minerals is related to other mineral groups including the zeolites, the feldspars and micas, the clay minerals, the jarosites and alunites, and the clathrate compounds. It is predicted that the distribution of the cations H3O+, K+, and NHr+ over the ll'ater molecules sites observed in the abernathyite-like compounds may be a common feature of the interlayer structure of the hydrous layer sili- cates and of the intercage structure of the zeolites and clathrate compounds The specia- nature of the oxonium ion in hvdrous structures is discussed.

    I`mt`qx1/00Lhmdq`knesgdLnmsg9Rbnkdbhsd This month’s mineral, scolecite, is an uncommon zeolite from India. Our write-up explains its origin as a secondary mineral in volcanic host rocks, the difficulty of collecting this fragile mineral, the unusual properties of the zeolite-group minerals, and why mineralogists recently revised the system of zeolite classification and nomenclature. OVERVIEW PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Chemistry: Ca(Al2Si3O10)A3H2O Hydrous Calcium Aluminum Silicate (Hydrous Calcium Aluminosilicate), usually containing some potassium and sodium. Class: Silicates Subclass: Tectosilicates Group: Zeolites Crystal System: Monoclinic Crystal Habits: Usually as radiating sprays or clusters of thin, acicular crystals or Hairlike fibers; crystals are often flattened with tetragonal cross sections, lengthwise striations, and slanted terminations; also massive and fibrous. Twinning common. Color: Usually colorless, white, gray; rarely brown, pink, or yellow. Luster: Vitreous to silky Transparency: Transparent to translucent Streak: White Cleavage: Perfect in one direction Fracture: Uneven, brittle Hardness: 5.0-5.5 Specific Gravity: 2.16-2.40 (average 2.25) Figure 1. Scolecite. Luminescence: Often fluoresces yellow or brown in ultraviolet light. Refractive Index: 1.507-1.521 Distinctive Features and Tests: Best field-identification marks are acicular crystal habit; vitreous-to-silky luster; very low density; and association with other zeolite-group minerals, especially the closely- related minerals natrolite [Na2(Al2Si3O10)A2H2O] and mesolite [Na2Ca2(Al6Si9O30)A8H2O]. Laboratory tests are often needed to distinguish scolecite from other zeolite minerals. Dana Classification Number: 77.1.5.5 NAME The name “scolecite,” pronounced SKO-leh-site, is derived from the German Skolezit, which comes from the Greek sklx, meaning “worm,” an allusion to the tendency of its acicular crystals to curl when heated and dehydrated.

    Prehistoric Exploitation of Limnosilicites in Northern Hungary: Problems and Perspectives Zsolt Mester and Norbert Faragó

    Archaeologia Polona, vol. 54: 2016, 1 – 5 PL ISSN 0066 - 5924 Editorial The first scientific investigations of the sources of flint in Poland were undertaken by archaeologist Stefan Krukowski and geologist Jan Samsonowicz in the early 20th century. Krukowski used archaeological materials to identify the macroscopic char- acteristics of ‘chocolate’ flints, described their differences, and showed the potential location of the deposits (Krukowski 1920: 189–195; Budziszewski 2008: 33). In the search for deposits of flint, their outcrops, and prehistoric mines, Krukowski was accompanied by young geologist Jan Samsonowicz. The result of their cooperation was the discovery in 1921 of in situ deposits and surface accumulations of limestones containing fragments of flint and, in 1922, the identification of a prehistoric mine at Krzemionki Opatowskie (Krukowski 1923; Samsonowicz 1923; Bąbel 2014). This long tradition of studying siliceous rocks has continued at the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Science. In 1965 Zygmunt Krzak published the first characterization of gray white-spotted (świeciechów) flint (Krzak 1965) and five years later he described Turonian flint from Ożarów (Krzak 1970). In 1971 Romuald Schild devised a classification of ‘chocolate’ flint from the north-east margin of the Holy Cross (Świątokrzyskie) Mountains (Schild 1971, 1976) and Bogdan Balcer investigated a flint mine in Świeciechów, Kraśnik district, and the use of gray white-spotted (świeciechów) flint during the Neolithic (Balcer 1975, 1976). In 1980 Jacek Lech discussed the geology of Jurassic-Cracow flint and showed its relevance to archaeology (Lech 1980). Since that time Polish archeologists have carried out many investigations on different types of flint (e.g., Budziszewski and Michniak 1983/1989; Pawlikowski 1989; Budziszewski and Michinak eds 1995; Schild and Sulgostowska eds 1997; Matraszek and Sałaciński eds 2002; Gutowski 2004; Borkowski et al., 2008; Migaszewski et al., 2006, Krajcarz et al., 2014).

Powder specimens of garnierite were annealed in static air between room temperature and 1000 ◦C. The kinetic of the transformation was investigated by means of thermo- gravimetric and differential thermal analysis, and the final product was extensively characterized via micro-Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Our study shows that serpentine-like garnierite consists of a mixture of different mineral species. Furthermore, these garnierites and their compo- sition can provide details based on the mineralogy and the crystalline phases resulting from the thermal treatment.

Samples are mixed with calcium carbonate and carbon, and arced in helium atmosphere. The intensity of a Cao band which masks the very sensitive B2 group of CaF bands is thereby effectively reduced. A B2 group head at 6036 A can be used to determine as little as .005 percent fluorine, provided three identical samples are superimposed in one spectrum. A method modified after one developed previously by Ahrens (1942) has been used to determine fluorine in rocks and minerals containing more than .03 percent fluorine. Samples are arced in air, with one exposure per spectrum, so the method is more rapid and economical, though less sensitive, than the one described above. Fluorine has been determined in about three hundred specimens and samples. Averages have been calculated for the fluorine content of apatite, amphibole, biotite, muscovite, and titanite.
