During 1907, a plumbiferous barytcs, deposited by a hot spring at Hokuto in Taiwan (Formosa), was discovered by Mr. Y. Okamoto. This mineral, although a special name ‘hokutolite’ was proposed for it by Professor K. Jimbō in 1912, is a variety of barytes. It shows a slight difference in its chemical composition as well gs its physical properties from ordinary barytes.
The substance of this paper has already been published in Japanese (1918) in the College Magazine ‘Hokkō’ of the Akita Mining College, with illustrations of photographs and radiographs. Radioactive barytes, but free from lead, from this locality (occurrence 1 mentioned below) has also been described by the author, Journ. Geol. Soc. Tōkyō, 1916, vol. 23, p 477 (Min. Abstr., 1920, no. 3, p. 63).
