Extract

In this paper are embodied the results of an examination of the specimens of lead slags from Laurium in the British Museum. On some of the specimens a new mineral, paralaurionite, was found, which possesses the same chemical composition as laurionite, but entirely different morphological and optical characters.

In addition to crystals of the four minerals given in the title, a few crystals oi matloekite and anglesite were noticed, and on one specimen there is a radiating group of prismatic crystals of penfieldite.
