page 346 note 1 Atti, R. Accad. Napoli, 1886, ser. 2, vol. 1, no. 5 Google Scholar. Incorrectly cited by F. Zambonini, C. Hintze, and H. Strunz as A. and E. Seacehi; the paper is by A. Scaeehi, but E. Scaeehi drew the figures.

page 346 note 2 Syst. Min., 6th edn, 1892, p. 77. Dana uses the conventional orientation with b as symmetry axis ; further, Scaeehi's A = Dana's c{0Ol}, B = a{100}, m = μ{110}, n = n{1¯11}, and e = e{2¯01}.

page 346 note 3 Handb. Min., Bd. I, Abt. 4, p. 695. Hintze uses the same orientation as Dana but retains Scaeehi's significant letters except for n; Scacchi's n = Hintze's u.

page 347 note 3 Accepting Zambonini's orientation, Scacchi's and our measurements compare with the calculated angles for wagnerite as follows: [AB]:[Bm] 12° A.S., 122° M.H.H., 123° 35' calc.; [AB]:[Am] 117° A.S., 117° M.H.H., 117° 31' calc. [Am]:[Bm] 94° 30' A.S., 94° 18' calc.
