He sets forth the chemical relations OF
platinum, its minerals and their chemical

in gravel deposits; the occurrence of
platinum in country rock, and in copper
ores Of various countries; the occurrence
of platinum in Australian coal, in meteor

Prof. Kemp then passes in review the To-

notices the occurrence Of traces Of small
quantities of platinum found in Quebec in
the form of sperry1ite in Ontario. and
describes at length the occurrence Of
