Arkansite

Mr. Ward has presented me with specimens of the Arkansite, and also with specimens of the Thermalite, and I have recently received from him at two different times, via New Orleans, various other geologicacl specimens of great interest, and also an aqualogical specimen, being a bottle of the water of the Hot Springs, which when taken from the spring was of the temperature of 148° of Farenheit.

Some crystals of arkansite from Magnet Cove, which I obtained some time ago through Mr. B. Hurtz, are in many respects very remarkable, and different from those usually obtained at the above locality.

One of the rare minerals found in Magnet Cove, which has attracted wide attention among students of geology, is Arkansite (Titanic acid or Brookite).
