Abstract
In the summer of 1896 the Oxford Museum was enriched by a fine series of about eighty mineral specimens from a newly opened quarry at Haddam Neck in Connecticut, which were kindly presented by Mr. Ernest Schernikow of New York. The species included in the series are green and pink tourmaline, albite, microcline, green and pink apatite, brown fluor, beryl, quartz, cookeite, lilac lepidolite, greenish-white muscovite, and a peculiar pink fibrous variety of the same mineral. To these must also be added, as occurring at the same place, green fluor, microlite, and columbite. The locality is described as Haddam Neck, a village opposite to Haddam, on the other (eastern) bank of the Connecticut River, which is here about half a mile wide.Keywords
