Extract

In the course of my study of the dispersion phenomena of the felspar group in the Mineralogical Laboratory of the University of Cambridge, Professor Lewis advised me to study the remarkable properties of sanidine from the Eifel, which were first noticed by Des Cloizeaux, and he very kindly placed the mineral sections in the Museum at my disposal. In order to be certain of the material used, application was made to Professor A. Lacroix of Paris, who with the courtesy and generosity characteristic of his countrymen was good enough to send some fragments of the very crystals used by Des Cloizeanx in his classical researches.
