For the upperRothegendes only a narrow horizon is set apart, which, as in the otherGerman districts, contains no eruptives. In connection with the manganese lodes the porphyrites particularlyare concerned, these being separated from a melaphyre below by sediments,while, in part at least, they are covered by slates, etc. Both these erup-tives, as Naumann pointed out, are bedded occm-rences. The porphyritesare distinguished by large segregations of felspar, by decomposed hornblende,and more seldom by specularite and garnet, in a compact, brown, reddish- THE MANGANESE LODES 859 grey, or green coloured ground-mass, consisting presumably of the sameconstituents.
