Extract

Several years ago Dr. Thomas Aitken, of Inverness, put into my hands a mineral which he thought to be new, with the request that I would analyse it.

He stated that the mineral occurred in veins in the conglomerate of the Old Red Sandstone, near Loch Bhruithaich, in Inverness-shire ; that it had been found by and given to him by the head gamekeeper on the Lovat property, and that similar pieces had been given to Mr. Wallace.

The specimens which he put in my hands, and others which he showed me, consisted of one side of a vein-plug, and were formed of alternate bands of foliated flesh-coloured baryte, with narrower ones of the substance in question.
