page 192 note 1 The letters are those used by Miller (Min. 1852, p. 196) and by Goldschmidt (Index der KrystaUformen, II. p. 479): the parametral plane is that of Goldschmidt, this being the direction of cleavage, and also givin 8 rather simpler indices; other authors have taken e to be {111}.

page 192 note 3 Sandberger, ( Ber. Akad. München , XXIV. 241, 1894 Google Scholar), mentions for crystals from Goldkronach, Bavaria, the form ∞P∞; this is, however, probaby a misprint for ∞P∞, which is a very common form on plagionite; or, again, d might easily be mistaken for (010) on mere inspection of the crystals.

page 194 note 2 These angles, ac=72°28½', am=47°44', and cn=41°18', give the parameters a: b: c= 1.1538: 1: 0.8508.

page 195 note 2 The abstract of Pisani's paper in the Neues Jahrb. Min. 300, 1877, mentions needle.shaped crystals, and it is probably hence that the mistake arose. Koort (Beitr. z. Kenntn. des Antimonglanzes, Inaug.-Diss., Berlin (Freiberg i. B.), 1884, p. 10), mentions acicular and capillary stibnite from this locality.
