The following statements were made
before this Society a, its late meeting
MIR. Wells stated that a vein of Phos
phate OF Lime exists near Crown Point
New York. 1t was discovered during
the State Survey of New York; but had
been onl recently worked. The dis,
coyery of this and the New Jersey de.
post would seem to controyert the notion
OF some biologists that the phosphate
acid IN the primary rocks is derived from
organic remains.
Mr.. Alger remarked that the presence
OF live per cent. of oxide of iron in the
New York phosphate. makes it less val
uabie for the manufacture Of crockery
ware.
Mr.. Alger said tina, the gold found in
Vermont, which he supposed was the au-
thoriiy for VI. DeBeaumont's allusion 10
the gold mines Of that Stale, had been
proved 10 be Of artificial origin. 1t was
gold which had been thrown into a
