Dr. Burton, of Walsall, whohas worked at this subject with great zeal, informs methat he regards them as being made up of two rhom-bodial crystals, with their apices approximated, andthen become covered up with an aggregation ofacicular crystals as shown in a, b, c, (Fig. 18), wherethese several stages of formation are represented. Ihave fancied that by breaking these crystals bypressure, there was evidence of their really beingformed by a couple of acute rhombs, superposed late-rally, as shown in section d, e. When such crystalsare immersed in a fluid as water, or Canada balsam, itwill enter between the crystals by capillary attraction,and exhibit two curved outlines whe
