Notes on the occurrence of zeolites in Cornwall and Devon

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  14 March 2018

Extract

In the present notes the writer has endeavoured to collect all the available facts concerning the occurrence of zeolites in both Cornwall and Devon. Specimens belonging to this group are rarely represented in collections of Cornish minerals, and as several new localities have recently come to light, the following observations will, he ventures to hope, be of some interest as adding to the already lengthy list of mineral species occurring in the West of England.

This admirable, but little-known work on Cornish mineralogy was published anonymously, likewise a later edition in London, 1828. A presentation copy is, however, known to the writer in which the name of the author is given as Thomas Hogg, Master of the Grammar School, Truro. This was also stated in some copies issued in 1826 with a fresh title-page (Truro 1826). William Jory Henwood (Trans. R. Geol. Soc.
