Extract

Mallard in 1879, noted that crystals of the metallurgical products ‘Spiegeleisen’ and ‘ferro-manganese’ are of two kinds. Both show a prism-zone of six faces, but when the percentage of manganese reaches a certain amount there is an abrupt change in the habit of the crystals and in the angles between their faces. Crystals containing from 11 up to 52 or 55 per cent. of manganese are lamellar, and were found to have a prism-angle (mm′′′ = 110 : 11̄) of 6° 27′, while crystals containing a larger amount of manganese are acicular and have a pseudo-hexagonal prism-zone, the angular measurements of which varied between 58° 42′ and 61° 20′.

Page 296 note 3 This angle, 68° 5′, is the mean of readings which varied between 67° 40′ and 68° 30′. It is given by Brauns as the angle bm, since it was repeated four times on the same crystal ; this repetition may, however, be explained by twinning on a prism plane.
