@. Where are diamonds found? j. Y.
A. Diamonds occur in Brazil, India, Bor-
neo, South Africa, and also in small quanti-
ties in the United States British Guiana,
Russia, China and Australia. The deposits
occupy the vents or spikes of ancient vol
canoes, and it is therefore possible that the
presence of the diamond is connected with
volcanic activity, the stones either having
been brought up from the interior of the
earth, or having been formed in place under
the influence of the molten rock in contact
with the carbonace0us shale. The conditions
necessary for the crystallizaton of carbon in
the form of diamond would seem to be in
tense heat and great pressure, such as exist
during the formation of igneous rocks
