    From the Philosui'hicai, Magazine foi January 1S59. NOTES ON MINERALOGY.—No. VII. ON SOME ROCKS AND MINERALS FROM CENTRAL INDIA, INCLUDING TWO NEW SPECIES, HISLOPITE AND HUNTERITE. BY The Rev. SAMUEL HAUGHTON, M.A., F.R.S., FELLOW OF TRINITY COLLEGE, AND PROFESSOR OF GEOLOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN*. Mineralogical description of a series of Rocks collected near Ndg- pur, Central India, by the Rev. Messrs. llislop and Hunter. ^¥^HE following description of some specimens of rocks of ■1- Central India, brought home by Messrs. Hislop and Hun- ter, and given to me by Mr. Rupert Jones, of the Geological Society of London, may prove of some interest, particularly with reference to the metamorphic action of water at a high tempera- ture, to which the attention of English geologists has been re- cently called by the valuable paper lately read by Mr. Sorby before the Geological Society of London. No. 1. Radiated concretionary nodule of brown carbonate of lime and iron ; contains no magnesia. Locality: Girad. No. 2. Dark green calcareo-micaceo-hornblendic rock ; meta- morphic. Locality : Jambul Ghat, South of Nagpur. No. 3. Coarsely crystalline saccharoid dolomite, with long white crystals of Tremolite, very like some specimens from the Val Tremola, St. Gothardt. Locality : Korhadi. * Read before the Royal Dublin Society in November 1858, in whose Museum most of the rocks and minerals are deposited.
