Extract

Among a parcel of minerals which I procured last spring, there are specimens of two very rare fossils; one of them, the Cryolite, the other I believe a variety of the Gadolinite. The former, is accurately described in the different mineralogical works, and I have little to add to the information contained in them. But the Gadolinite appears to be very imperfectly known, and has never yet been described as a crystallised fossil.
