Cosalite, aikinite, zinckenite, jamesonite, and boulangerite occur at Grainsgill; the first three minerals have not hitherto been recorded from Britain. The specimens probably come from a series of low-temperature quartz-carbonate veins, later than the original mineralization and also distinet from the east west copper-lead veins.

page 296 note 2 As the result of our investigatioas ia the Lake District, it has hecomc abundantly clear that most of the so-called localities, suoh as ‘Carrock Fells’, ‘Carrock Fell’, ‘Brandy Gill’, ‘Roughtengill’, ‘Caldbeck Fell(s)’, which are given in many of the older records and on labels with old specimens, are used in such a wide and loose manner that they cannot in general be accepted as evidence of a more precise place of origin than the Skidddaw-(Carroek-Caldbeck area as a whole, and must all be regarded as synonymous. Compare Creg and Lettsom's to bismuth at ‘Caldbeck Fells’ (p. 378), bismuthinite at ‘Braudy Gill, Carrock Fells’ (p. 380), and molybdenite, at five different localities (p. 349) ; all these are to one locality.
