ANALYSES OF ROCKS AND MINERALS FROM THE 

LABORATORY OF THE UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL 

SURVEY, 1880-1908.

By F. W. CLARKE.

INTRODUCTION.

The present Geological Survey of the United States was organized 

in 1879. In 1880, in connection with the Colorado work, a chemical 

laboratory was established at Denver in charge of Dr. W. F. Hillebrand, 

with whom were associated Mr. Antony Guyard and, later, Mr. L. G. 

Eakins. In 1882 Dr. W. H. Melville was placed in charge of a second 

laboratory at San Francisco, and in the autumn of 1883 the central 

laboratory was started in Washington, with myself as chief chemist. 

In November, 1885, Doctor Hillebrand was transferred to Washington; early in 1888 he was followed by Mr. Eakins, and the Denver 

laboratory was discontinued. In the spring of 1890 Doctor Melville 

also was transferred to Washington, arid since then the geochemical 

work of the Survey has been concentrated at headquarters. The 

special laboratories of the water-resources and technologic branches 

of the Survey are not included in this statement. Their work is not 

represented in this bulletin.

Up to January 1, 1909, over 6,000 analyses have been made in the 

laboratory at Washington. These represent rocks, minerals, ores, 

waters, sediments, coals, metals, and so on through all the range of 

substances with which geology has to do. There were also some hundreds of analyses made in the laboratories at Denver and San Francisco. A fair amount of research work upon mineralogical and analytical problems has also been done. In all of this work the following 

chemists have been employed: E. T. Alien, Charles Catlett, T. M. 

Chatard, F. W. Clarke, L. G. Eakins, F. A. Gooch, Antony Guyard, 

W. F. Hillebrand, W. H. Melville, H. C. McNeil, Chase Palmer, R. B. 

Riggs, W. T. Schaller, E. A. Schneider, George Steiger, H. N. Stokes, 

E. C. Sullivan, William Valentine, R. C. Wells, and J. E. Whitfield. 

As many as eight of these have been at work simultaneously; at

present only five are connected with the Survey. Other officers of 

the Survey have been occupied more or less with chemical questions, 

but the men named in this list were connected directly with the 

laboratory. Some work for the chemical division has also been done 

by chemists not regularly on the rolls of the Survey, but their analyses, 

with the exception of a single group to be noted later (see pp. 86-89), 

do not fall within the scope of this paper.

Quite naturally, on account of the activity of the petrograp.hers, a 

dominant feature of the laboratory work has been the analysis of 

rocks. These have been studied in great numbers and in the most 

thorough way. The results have appeared in widely scattered publications, official reports, monographs, bulletins, American and foreign 

journals, and so on. The object of this bulletin is to bring together 

this valuable material, together with such bibliographic and petrographic data as seem.to be necessary, in order to identify the specimens and to facilitate chemical discussion. Analyses of minerals 

have also been made in considerable numbers, and they are collected 

in the final section of this book. In some instances such analyses 

were made with direct reference to petrographic studies, and therefore 

are cited in connection with the rocks to which they belong. Meteorites, of which twenty-nine have been analyzed, are brought into the 

work on account of their petrographic relations, and the groups of 

clays and soils have been admitted because of the bearing of these 

substances on the study of slates and shales. The actual number 

of analyses given in the bulletin is as follows:

Igneous and crystalline rocks a . ................................. 1, 203

Sandstones, cherts, and sinters................................. 81

Carbonate rocks............................................... - 273

Slates and shales.....'.......................................... 63

Clays, soils, etc............................................... 130

Meteorites, and separations from them.......................... 62

Minerals........................................................ 608

2,420

It may be observed that the classification thus indicated has not 

been rigorously followed. In a few instances the study of a sedimentary rock has been so related to that of its igneous neighbors that 

the analyses are best tabulated together; but these exceptional cases 

are few, and all are properly noted. The heading "Igneous and 

crystalline rocks'' has been used in the broadest and most liberal way, 

and doubtless many of the analyses given under it might properly be 

otherwise classified. In such cases of uncertainty, convenience has 

furnished the rule to follow.

doubtless be best were petfographers agreed on it; but their differences are many, and the chemist will do well to avoid them. The 

geographic method, moreover, has some advantages of its own. It 

facilitates the study of areas, it simplifies the bibliographic references, and it brings together, in great measure, the work of each 

petrographer for whom analyses have been made. Thus, most of 

Diller's work has been in California, most of Cross's in Colorado, and 

most of Iddings's in the Yellowstone National Park, and in each case 

the analyses are massed, and their discussion is practically uniform 

in character. As regards nomenclature, each rock has received the 

designation given it by its describer and no liberties have been taken. 

This plan may cause some lack of uniformity; but no other procedure seemed to be practicable. Whenever it was possible, however, I have inserted in italics the new names proposed by Cross, 

Iddings, Pirsson, and Washington in their classification of the igneous 

rocks. In most cases these names were taken from Washington's 

great compilation of analyses published by the Survey in 1903.° This 

addition, it is believed, will assist petrographers in their study of the 

material thus brought together.

It will be noticed by anyone who uses this bulletin that the analyses 

vary as regards completeness. Among the sedimentary rocks especially partial analyses are common, but in the igneous group thoroughness is more general. In the early days of the chemical division 

many analyses were made along the older lines, just as they are still 

made in many laboratories to-day that is, only the main constituents, those having direct petrographic significance, were determined. In such analyses the minor ingredients, like titanium, phosphorus, barium, strontium, chlorine, etc., were ignored; and, although 

the results were satisfactory in some respects, they left much to be 

desired. Latterly greater completeness has been sought for, the work 

done has been much fuller, and the data obtained can be discussed 

with much higher approaches to accuracy. The old form of "complete "analysis" is to be discouraged. It leads too often to erroneous 

conclusions, and only the best modern methods of work and of statement should be tolerated. The fuller analyses, moreover, have 

brought some interesting points to light; titanium now appears to be 

one of the more abundant elements, and barium and strontium are 

found to be almost universally diffused in igneous rocks in quite 

perceptible quantities.

On general principles the analysis of a rock and its petrographic 

description should be two parts of the same investigation, matching 

each other completely. In practice, however, this rule does not 

always hold, and the departures from it are in two opposite directions.

4 ANALYSES OF BOOKS AND MINERALS, 1880-1908.

For example, an analysis of the older type says nothing of titanium 

and phosphorus, while the microscope reveals the presence of sphene 

and apatite. In this case the petrographer has been more thorough 

than the chemist. On the other hand, a fuU and perfect analysis may 

be given, accompanied by a petrographic description of the most 

general.kind, in which only the main mineral constituents of the rock 

are noted. Here the analysis has been incompletely used and the 

petrographic discussion is defective. It is hoped that the publication 

of this material may lead to a clearer recognition of the mutuality 

which should exist between the chemical and the microscopic researches, and so bring, in the future, both lines of investigation more 

into harmony. Hitherto the chemist and the petrographer have 

'Worked too much apart and each has too often misunderstood the 

purpose of the other. If the study of the thin section could always 

precede the analysis, the petrographic problems could be stated more 

clearly and the chemical evidence might be rendered much more 

pertinent and satisfactory.

During the preparation of this- bulletin much assistance was rendered by the petrographers and geologists connected with the Survey, 

especially with reference to analyses hitherto unpublished. In each 

case credit has been given for the data thus added. Twenty-eight 

analyses of rocks from Montana, executed by or under the direction 

of Prof. L. V. Pirsson, of Yale University, and made in connection 

with regular Survey work, are included in the tabulations. With 

this exception all .of the analyses given were made in the Survey 

laboratories. To those executed in the laboratory at Washington 

"record numbers" are attached, which serve to identify them on the 

record books of the division of chemistry. Of the abbreviations 

used for bibliographic reference only five need explanation, and they 

refer to the official publications of the Survev. "Ann." for Annual 

Report, "Mon." for Monograph, "Bull." for" Bulletin, "P. P." for 

Professional Paper, and "Folio," are the five in question. The others 

relate to well-known journals and are familiar to all geologists. The 

letters P. R. C., following the description of a rock, refer to the petrographic reference collection of the Survey and are followed by the 

number assigned to the rock in that series.

THE AVERAGE COMPOSITION OF ROCKS. .

In a paper published some years ago,0 on the relative abundance of 

the chemical elements, I computed the average composition of the 

primitive crust of the earth from 880 analyses of eruptive and crystalo Bull. U. S. Geol. Survey No. 78,1891, p. 34.
COMPOSITION OF ROCKS.

line rocks. Of these analyses pnly 207 were from the laboratories of 

the Survey, while 673 were collected from various other American and 

foreign sources. A large proportion of them were incomplete, regarded from a modern point of view, and yet the results obtained 

were fairly conclusive.

In Bulletin 148 a similar estimate was given, based upon 680 

complete analyses found in the Survey records, plus some hundreds 

of determinations of silica, lime, and alkalies. Again, in Bulletin 168, 

a third estimate was presented, representing 830 complete analyses 

and some partial determinations, all made in the Survey laboratories. 

In 1899 Harker a published a computation covering 397 analyses of 

British rocks, and Washington 6 has also worked out'the average of 

1,811 analyses given in his compilation.

For the more important constituents of igneous rocks the five estimates mentioned above agree remarkably well, and yet they are not 

thoroughly comparable. The 397 analyses discussed by Harker were 

in most cases incomplete, at least when considered from a modern 

standpoint. In only 34 of them was titanium taken into account, and 

in only 55 is phosphorus mentioned. These omissions affect the percentages of other things and lessen the value of the computation very 

materially. Excluding manganese the five averages may be tabulated 

as follows. Minor constituents will be considered later:

Between Washington's computation and mine there is one fundamental difference a difference of method. In my own calculations 

analyses were averaged together as if each one was complete an 

assumption which is not justifiable. In some cases minor constituents 

were not reported; in other cases' they were determined with great 

care. The average of analyses varying in this way will obviously 

give too low a result for the rarer substances. Washington's policy 

was to consider the rock-forming elements separately, averaging each 

according to the actual number of determinations made, and thus to 

secure a truer group of estimates. For example, his average represents 1,811 determinations of A12 03 and Si02 , 1,625 of Fe2 03 and FeO, 

1,139 of TiO2 , 955 of P2 05 , and only 731 of MnO. The data thus 

utilized, however, coming from many laboratories and representing 

various methods of analysis, are evidently of very unequal value; and 

this consideration counts for something against the result finally 

obtained. I have therefore thought it desirable to repeat the computation, applying Washington's method to the determinations made 

in the laboratories of the Survey alone, and using all of the analyses, 

partial or complete, for my purpose. Every determination-made 

upon an igneous rock has been thus utilized. When an element was 

definitely reported as absent, it has counted as zero in the averaging. 

To the statement of a "trace" I have arbitrarily assigned the value of 

0.01 per cent. In this way I have obtained the following averages, 

which represent all of the data accumulated by the chemists of the 

Survey down to January 1, 1908:

Silica. Average of 1,530 determinations, 60.97 per cent.

Alumina. Average of 1,042 determinations, 15.29 per cent. In 93 additional determinations, Ti02 and P205 were not separated; and these, therefore, are not included in the computation.

Ferric oxide. 1,093 determinations. Average, 2.63 per cent.
COMPOSITION OF BOCKS. - 7

Ferrous oxide. 1,093 determinations. Average, 3.40 per cent. In 38 analyses the

oxides of iron were not separately determined, and in them the figure for iron is

excluded from the calculation.

Magnesia. 1,163 determinations. Average, 3.96 per cent. 

Lime. 1,384 determinations. Average, 4.89 per cent. 

Soda. 1,442 determinations. Average, 3.47 per cent. 

Potash. 1,434 determinations. Average, 3.00 per cent. 

Water. In 288 analyses, total water was determined; average, 1.86 per cent. In 752

analyses, water lost below 100°-110° was estimated; average, 0.48 per cent. In

816 analyses, water retained above 100°-110° gave an average of 1.51 per cent.

Combining these data, the probable percentages are, H20 , 0.47, and H20+.

1.48 per cent.

Titanic oxide. 989 determinations. Average, 0.74 per cent. 

Zirconia. 281 determinations. Average, 0.026 per cent. These determinations were

not made so generally as to give the average any great importance. 

Phosphoric oxide. 995 determinations. Average, 0.26 per cent. 

Baryta. 710 determinations. Average, 0.11 per cent.

Strontia. 596 determinations. Average, 0.04 per cent.

Manganese oxide. 1,011 determinations. Average, 0.10 per cent.

Carbon dioxide. 599 determinations. Average, 0.50 per cent. This is doubtless too 

high, for in many rocks carbon dioxide was not looked for. In 142 of the analyses 

in which it was reported the percentage was zero.

Lithia. Commonly reported in traces, but often absent. Reckoning a "trace" as 

0.01, the average of 571 analyses is 0.011 per cent. This is probably not far from 

a true estimate.

Nickel oxide. 273 determinations. 'Average, 0.026 per cent, which is probably too 

high.

Chromic oxide. 262 determinations. Average, 0.05 per cent. Probably too high.

Vanadium trioxide. Only 83 determinations are reported; in average, 0.024 per cent. 

Determinations too few to give this value any weight. The figxire, however, is 

not without interest.0

Chlorine. Determined or proved to be absent in 258 cases. Average, 0.065 per cent. 

Probably too high. '

Fluorine. Only determined or proved to be absent in 90 analyses. Average, 0.11 

per cent, which is undoubtedly too high. An inferior limit, however, may be 

fixed with reference to P205 . If we assume that to represent apatite, the equivalent amount of fluorine should be 0.023 per cent. The true average must be 

slightly higher.

Sulphur. This element is reported in three forms as S, as S03 , and as FeS2 .

> Reported as S, 253 analyses give an average 0.051 per cent. As S03, 321 analyses

give 0.11 per cent, equivalent to 0.044 per cent of S. In 143 analyses 0.68 per

cent FeS2 was found, equivalent to 0.36 of sulphur and 0.32 of Fe. The latter

must be taken into account in estimating total iron. General average for sulphur,

0.109 per cent.

One reason for the difference between my estimate and that of 

Washington is not far to seek. The two columns of reduced averages 

are not strictly comparable, for one contains- many partial analyses, 

and the other relates only to those which are nominally complete. 

For the interpretation of a femic a rock, which is mineralogically 

complex, a full analysis is necessary. For the simpler salic 0 rocks, 

determinations of silica, lime, and alkalies are usually sufficient for 

petrographic purposes. The partial analyses, therefore, represent 

mainly salic varieties, and their inclusion in the average tends to raise 

the percentage of silica and to lower that of magnesia or iron. But 

the salic rocks are' undoubtedly more abundant than those of the 

other class, and so I am inclined to regard the higher figure for silica

as more probable than the lower. If, however, we include all the 

minor constituents of rocks as given in my computation, the final 

result assumes the form given on the following page.

a The terms "salic" and "femic," proposed by Cross, Iddings, Pirsson, and Washington, are here 

used instead of the conventional "acid" and "basic." The latter terms have precise chemical meaning, 

and their use in another sense by petrographers is inexact and misleading. The terms persilicic, mediosilicic, and subsilicic are even better.

In the elementary column the iron reported in iron pyrites is 

included, but hygroscopic water is thrown out. The elements not 

included in the calculation represent minor corrections, to be applied 

whenever the necessity for doing so may arise. For estimates.of 

their probable amounts Vogt's papers may be consulted. 0 The percentages assigned to C, Zr, Cl, F, Ni, Cr, and V are-nothing more 

than very rough approximations.

By a similar statistical process I have tried to ascertain something 

with regard to the relative abundance of the more important rockforming minerals. Nearly 700 analyses of igneous rocks were studied, 

and the foregoing table of averages was also taken into account. 

For apatite, and for the titanium minerals titanite, ilmenite, and 

rutile the calculation was simple, but the other figures in the following table are approximative only:

igneous rock has very nearly metasilicate ratios and is close to an 

andesite in composition. Its place in the new classification of rocks 

has been fully discussed by Washington in the memoir already 

mentioned.

For computing the average composition of the sedimentary rocks 

the existing analyses of individual samples are inadequate. They are 

too few and too incomplete to yield any conclusions of value. Attempts have been made to partly use the data, as, for example, by 

Joly;° and it seems probable, therefore, that better material will not 

be without interest or scientific value.

 About fourteen years ago, at the request of Mr. G. K. Gilbert, a 

series of composite analyses of sedimentary rocks was made in this 

laboratory. Many samples were mixed into one uniform sample, 

from which, by a single analysis, an average composition was determined. The material was selected and the samples were prepared 

by Mr. Gilbert, assisted by Mr. G. W. Stose, and the analyses were 

made by Dr. H.- N. Stokes. The data obtained may be tabulated as 

follows:

A. Composite analysis of 27 Mesozoic and Cenozoic shalea. Each individual shale 

was taken in amount roughly proportional to the mass of the formation which 

it represented.

B. Composite analysis of 51 Paleozoic shales, weighted as in the former case.

C. General average of A and B, giving them, respectively, weights as 3 to 5. This 

average represents 78 rocks.

D. Composite analysis of 253 sandstones, about 1 gram of each being taken in preparing the average sample.

E. Composite analysis of 371 sandstones used for building purposes. Equal weights 

taken.

F. Composite analysis of 345 limestones, equal weights being taken.

G. Composite analysis of 498 limestones used for building purposes. Equal weights 

taken.

These analyses may be used for a variety of purposes. For example, they can help in tracing the change from an average igneous 

rock to an average sediment. They suggest something as to the 

characteristic features which distinguish a good building stone from 

other limestones and sandstones. They are applicable to the discussion of a variety of large theoretical problems like that chosen by 

Professor Joly. These considerations alone justify their publication 

here.

In these rocks the sulphur is all reckoned as pyrite, although pyrrhotite also is probably present. The carbonic acid represents either dolomite or siderite; not calcite. 

Traces of lithia and strontia occur in nearly all. Samples H, L, 0, and Q contain 

traces of copper. In N there is 0.03 V2 03 , a supplementary determination by Hillebrand.

2. MISCELLANEOUS ROCKS.

A. Peridotite, from Dewitt, near Syracuse. A rock described by Darton and Kemp, 

Am. Jour. Sci., 3d ser., vol. 49, p. 456. Contains olivine, partly serpentinized, biotite, 

and augite, with magnetite, apatite, and perofskite. Possibly a little chromite also. 

Classed by Kemp as limburgite. P. R. C. 296.
28 ANALYSES OF BOCKS AND MINERALS, 1880-1908.

Analysis by H. N. Stokes, record No. 1491. The FeO represents the total iron, 

because the sulphides present, possibly as pyrrhotite, prevent the separate estimation 

of the two iron oxides.,

B. Syenite, Fort Ann, Washington County. Adamellose. Contains orthoclase, 

microperthite, hornblende, green augite, and a little quartz.

C. Quartz-biotite-garnet gneiss, Fort Ann. Consists essentially.of quartz, garnet, 

biotite, orthoclase, some plagioclase, and zircons.

B and C were collected by J. F. Kemp, who supplies the petrographic data. Analyses by W. F. Hillebrand, record No. 1930.

KENTUCKY. 

1. ELLIOTT COUNTY DIKE.

Described by Diller in Bull. 38. Also in Am. Jour. Sci., 3d ser., vol. 32, p. 125.

A peridotite, var. kimberlite, consisting largely of olivine, sometimes altered to 

serpentine. Pyrope, ilmenite, a few scales of biotite, a little enstatite, and a trace 

of apatite are present as primary minerals. Secondary minerals are serpentine,

7. MESABI DISTRICT, MINNESOTA.

The following rocks, described by Leith in Mon. XLIII, do not fall legitimately 

within this section of the present bulletin. There seems, however, to be no other 

convenient place for them, and so the niceties classification have been ignored for 

reasons of expediency.

A. Greenalite rock, test pit, Cincinnati mine. Contains green and brown transparent granules, with opaque brown to black ones, in a matrix of chert. P. R. C. 1668.

B. Greenalite rock, same locality as A. Contains greenish-yellow granules, slightly 

altered to amphibole in a matrix of amphibole with subordinate chert. P. R. C. 1669.

C. Greenalite rock, near W. quarter post, sec. 35, T. 59 N., R. 15 W. Resembles 

A. P. R. C. 1670.

D. Greenalite rock, near SE. corner of sec. 22, T. 59 N., R. 15 W. Contains yellowish-brown, transparent, and dark-brown to black and opaque granules in a matrix 

which is mainly amphibole, possibly actinolite. All four rocks contain oxides of 

iron, either limonite or magnetite. P. R. C. 1671.

Analyses by George Steiger, record Nos. 1931 and 1992. In three of the rocks the 

portions soluble and insoluble in hydrochloric acid were analyzed separately.

SOUTH DAKOTA.

A. Phonolite, Black Hills. Miaskose. Described by Whitman Cross in Bull. 150, 

p. 191. Contains sanidine, nephelite, segixite, nosean, and sodalite, with accessory 

sphene, apatite, and zircon, and possibly some rare zirconates or titanates. Also, 

sparingly, secondary zeolites and calcite. No magnetite, but minute ferritic flakes 

are disseminated through the rock. Analysis by W. F. Hillebrand, record No. 1618. 

P. B.C. 73.

B. An earlier analysis of A, by H. N. Stokes, record No. 1314. This was made along 

the ordinary lines as regards "completeness," as requested by the collector, and without regard to minor accessory constituents. It serves well to illustrate the difference 

between the two modes of treatment, in comparison with the fuller analysis.

C. Tourmaline-biotite schist, north of Harney Peak, Black Hills. Described by 

Bayley in Bull. 150, p. 327. Contains quartz, biotite, tourmaline, a little garnet and 

rarely muscovite, iron ore, and apatite. Analysis by Stokes, record No. 1296. P. 

R. C. 130.

D. Volcanic ash, 3 miles west of Argyle, Custer County. Amiatose. Collected by 

N. H. Barton. Analysis by George Steiger, record No. 1875. P. R. C. 599.

2. LASSEN PEAK REGION.

Rocks collected by J. S. Diller, who has furnished the petrographic data. Nearly 

all are from the area covered by the Lassen Peak atlas sheet of the United States 

Geological Survey. The quartz basalts have been described by Diller in Bull. 79, 

and partly in Am. Jour. Sci., 3d ser., vol. 33, p. 49. The analyses are so numerous 

that it seems best to divide them into subordinate groups.

pearlite, composed chiefly of little glass balls, with a few spherulites, and crystals of 

feldspar and biotite. Analysis by Hillebrand, No. 418. "P. R. C. 1423.
IGNEOUS AND CRYSTALLINE ROCKS. 139

F. Rhyolite, 1£ miles northeast of Clipper Mills, on tramway to Rock Creek, Shasta 

County. Tehamose.' A spherulitic rock containing a few microscopic particles of 

feldspar and hornblende. Analysis by Hillebrand, No. 678. P. R. C. 1424.

G. Rhyolite tuff, divide between the west fork of Willards Creek and the stage road, 

in Lassen County. Elevation, 5,800 feet. Composed almost wholly of fine angular 

particles of clear glass. Analysis by George Steiger, record No. 1427. P. R. C. 1425.

Iron oxides not separated. Analyses B, C, D, and F made on very small quantities of material. C and 

D were analyzed by the hydrofluoric-acid method, and the silica was determined by difference.

2. RIDDLES QUADRANGLE.

A. Peridotite, the matrix of the silicate nickel ores. Described by Diller and 

Clarke in Bull. 60, p. 21. The rock, which may be classed as saxonite, consists essentially of olivine and enstatite, with a little chromite and magnetite. Olivine predominates, and the enstatite forms less than one-third of the mass. Quartz, serpentine, and genthite are present as alteration products.

TASMANIA.

Two analyses of so-called "volcanic bombs" or "buttons" were made by W. F. Hillebrand, record No. 2097, at the request of W. H. Twelvetrees, of Launceston, Tasmania. 

These curious forms of volcanic glass have every appearance of artificiality, but are 

said to be found under such conditions and in so many localities that the idea of their 

human origin is precluded. A paper on the subject by R. H. Walcott may be found 

in Proc. Royal Soc. Victoria, vol. 11, p. 23, 1898.

A. From Upper Weld tindrift. Almerose. Analysis incomplete because of insufficient material. Sp. gr., 2.454 at 18.5°.

2. HAMBLEN COUNTY, TENNESSEE.

Mass of nearly half and half stone and iron found about 6 miles WSW. of Morristown. 

Analyzed by L. G. Eakins, and described in Bull. 113, p. 61.

A. The nickel-iron.

B. The part of the stony portion soluble in hydrochloric acid; 37.63 per cent, recalculated to 100, with sulphur deducted.

C. Insoluble part of the stony portion; 62.10 per cent, recalculated to 100.

A petrographic description of this meteorite is given by Merrill in Am. Jour. Sci., 

4th ser., vol. 2, p. 149, together with an analysis of the feldspar. He finds it to contain 

in addition to the nickel-iron, enstatite, diallage, anorthite, olivine or monticellite, 

oldhamite or secondary gypsum derived from oldhamite, lawrenceite, troilite, and 

schreibersite.

ANALYSES OF MINERALS.

In the following pages the analyses of over 180 mineral species are given; a considerable number of the species having been originally described as new by. chemists 

connected with the Survey. These species are josephinite, cuprobismutite, warrenite, 

guiterinanite, elpasolite, zunyite, ptilolite, hydronephelite, lucasite, antlerite, knoxvillite, redingtonite, plumbojarosite, emmonsite, powellite, morencite, coronadite, 

purpurite, goldfieldite, and arizonite. In other cases minerals which were imperfectly described have been more sharply characterized and their true composition 

made known. - Natrojarosite, for example, is here definitely recognized as a species.

In general the order of Dana's classification has been followed, but with some 

email variations. Thus the tellurides are put in a group by themselves, the borosilicates are brought together, while the phosphates, vanadates, and arsenates are given 

as three separate classes. On purely chemical grounds these changes are warranted; 

on morphological grounds the usual mineralogical classification may be better.

Another nickel-iron sulphide, from the Worthington mine, Sault branch of the 

Canadian Pacific Railway, 25 miles west of Sudbury, has been analyzed by W. F. 

Hillebrand. Grayish, with a cast of yellow. Not pyrrhotite. Possibly a mixture 

of polydymite and pyrite.

Still another nickel-iron sulphide is described by Hillebrand in Jour. Arn. Chem. 

Soc., vol. 29, p. 1027. It is found in association with the patronite of Minasragra, Peru, 

and appears to be a new species with the formula (NiPe)S2 . For this the provisional 

name bravoite is suggested. Analysis by Hillebrand. The deficiency is possibly 

due to the partial oxidation of the vanadium present. The latter represents unseparated patronite.

URANINITE.

Analyses by W. F. Hilfebrand. Discussed in Bulls. 78 and 90. In the original 

publications the gaseous constituent of uraninite was supposed to be nitrogen, as 

indeed it was in part. The discovery of helium, however, has shed new light upon 

the subject, and the analyses have been corrected accordingly.

A, B, C, D, E. Crystallized uraninite from Hale's quarry, Glastonbury, Connecticut. 

Nitrogen was certainly present in these specimens.
