context_section_description: In 1847, How and August Wilhelm von Hofmann were co-workers at the Royal College in London. How was a professor of chemistry and natural history at King's College in Windsor, Nova Scotia.
  In 1864 How published the description of a new zeolite mineral, that he named mordenite, from along the shores of the Bay of Fundy. 
  In 1868, he described a new borate mineral found just south of Windsor. How named it silicoborocalcite but was renamed howlite in his honor by James Dwight Dana.  He studied many other zeolites and related minerals from the Bay of Fundy basalts, borates from the gypsum and anhydrite deposits, as well as ores of manganese and iron.
