Abstract

BY the bequest of the late Mr. F. Tendron, for many years chairman of the St. John Del Rey Mining Company, the trustees of the British Museum have recently acquired a few choice mineral specimens. Conspicuous among them is a magnificent, and probably unique, crystal of pyrrhotite, measuring as much as fourteen centimetres across. The suite also includes smaller specimens of pyrrhotite, two specimens of the rare mineral chalmersite, some well-crystallised gold, &c.
