Extract

The two exceedingly interesting specimens which form the subject of the present notes came under my observation in the following manner. In 1905 there was sold by public auction in London an old and very fine collection of minerals, mostly Cornish, which had been formed by John Hawkins, F.R.S. (b. 1758, d. 1841), of Trewithen, Probus, Cornwall; a gentleman well known in his day both as a scientist and traveller. The major part of the collection unfortunately left this country, having been purchased by the dealer F. Krantz of Bonn. A few lots were, however, bought by myself, and one of these contained the first specimen to be here described.
