Abstract
In the course of his official work in the Lizard district, Dr. J. S. Flett collected various samples of minerals which were handed over to me for examination. Two of these specimens proved to be datolite remarkably well crystallized. As this species, now rare in Britain, had not been recorded before from Cornwall, although pseudomorphs of chalcedony after it—the well-known haytorite—are mentioned by Greg and Lettsom from North Roskear mine, Camborne, the facts of its occurrence seemed well worthy of further investigation. Accordingly, in October of last year, Dr. Flett and myself paid a visit to the locality, where we succeeded in obtaining a large amount of the material.Keywords
