tinction is based on the micro-chemical eolouring reactions with thepartially dehydrated material.
In the slightly earlier Polish publications (Spraw. Tow. Nauk. Warszawa, 1910, vol. iii, p. 414; 1911, vol. iv, p. 77) the author used theterm metanatro~ite for this modification; but as this name had beenpreviously used by F. Rinne in 1890 for partially dehydrated natrolite,

Ferrite. H." M. Howe, 1890. The Metallurgy of Steel, New York,vol. i, pp. 164, 165.

Unfortunately, however, the name ferrite had been earlier used indifferent senses. Chemically, it signifies a salt in which ferric oxide
plays the part of an acid; for example, barium ferrite, BaFe~O,.
Mineralogically, it was used by H. u

Scheerer regarded albite and seapolite as dimorphous, andthe pseudomorphous crystals from Norway, as paramorphs of albite
after scapolite. His palae,o-albite is therefore a synonym of scapolite.
V. M. Goldschmidt (Vidensk.-Selsk. Skrifter, Math.-l~'aturv. KI., Kristlania, 1911, No. 1, pp. 309, 312) incorrectly applies the name ' Pal/ioalbit'

had been described by A. Sachs (ibid., 1909, p. 438) as topaz, wasproved by V. Goldschmidt to be merely quartz with a prismatic habit
in the direction of one of the horizontal axes. As so orientated there isa remarkable agreement between the interracial angles of quartz andtopaz. In correcting his error,the author adds to the confusion by using
the above name.
