In the colleftion of the Rev. Mr. Richardfon at Bath, a friend of mine (Mr. Notcutt) inftrufted by Mr. W. Clayfield’s fpecimens, pointed out fomc fulfate of ftrontian. Mr. Richardfon gave a piece to Dr. Gibbes in January laft. 1 had exhibited this fubftance, as found in other places near Briftol, to a large audience nine months before, viz. in fpring 1798, and had fent fpecimens to Mr. W. Henry, who communicated die fa6l to the philofophical fociety at Mancheftcr. Dr. Gibbes does not, undoubtedly, mean to claim the diicovery. He knew laft year that Mr. Clayfield wasanalyfing the foflil. Hundreds of perfons might have anticipated Mr. C. in announcing the fa£l. It is, indeed, 1 obferve diftinftly noticed in the appendix I0 the monthly revienv, vol. xxv. p. June, 1798. The manner, in which the fulfate was deteSed in this neighbourhood, is cxaftly related below. EurTon.
