Extract

The question of the system to which perovskite should be referred, and the explanation of the discrepancy between its form and optical-properties, have been the subject of much discussion among crystallograpbers ever since the discovery by Des Cloizeaux, in 1858, of the double refraction of crystals of calciam titanate from Zermatt, having the same composition as the crystals of cubic form from the Ural Mountains, to which the name perovskite had been given by G. Rose in 1889.

Page 158 note 3 Ben Saude laid stress on the orientation of these pits, as observed by himself and (as he supposed) also by Baumhauer, not being in accord with the symmetry of the basal pinaeoid of an orthorhombic crystal. Baumhauer, however, explained later (Zeits. Kryst. Min., vol. vii, p. 612) that the pits observed by him were as above described, and had been wrongly drawn in Zeits. Kryst. Min., vol. iv, plate 7, figs. 1 and 3.

Page 167 note 1 Slightly oblique rays falling on tile outcrop, would be repeatedly reflected internally through the lamella to emerge at the other side of the plate, and might account for the extra brightness of the narrow bands noticed on p. 164, and for their failure to show compensation.

Page 167 note 2 This has since been confirmed by the discovery of miffute rhombie pits in twin-position on a few of the narrow bands.

Page 176 note 1 Loc. cit., p. 27. The fact that on the areas which had suffered change by heating the pits remained unaltered in form, was mentioned by Ben Saude as showing the unsuitability of etching figures for the determination of symmetry. Since, however, the pits only indicate the nature of the structure existing at the time when they were formed, they could not (as has been pointed out by Ewing, Proc. Roy. Soc., 1900, vol. lxvii, pp. 112-117, in the case of etched surfaces of metals) change their shape owing to a subsequent alteration of that structure. Had the crystals been re-etched, there can be little doubt thai; the new figures would have tallied with the altered optical properties.
