Extract

In a paper, entitled “On the Action of Carbonic Acid Water on Minerals and Kocks,” read before the Edinburgh Geological Society on the 18th February 1886, and subsequently published in their Transactions for that year (vol. v. part ii. p. 282), I gave some account of the simple experiments made with a view to elucidate the action of carbonated water on various minerals, which up to that period I had been able to carry through.

note * page 437 There are two cleavages—the maoropinacoid and brachypinaeoid ; the latter is the more distinct, but neither as a rule are at all strongly marked, at least in fresh specimens.

note * page 438 I used the chlorate of potassium, but am now aware that potassium permanganate would have served the purpose better.
