Abstract
REFERRING to Sir Edward Thorpe's interesting letter on this subject in NATURE of February 24, I would point out that the Cornish village of “Manaccan” is in the parish of Manaccan, which adjoins the parish of St. Keverne. There is an error also in the spelling. “Menaccan” should be Manaccan, and so with the stream at “Lenarth,” it should be Lanarth. Presumably, therefore, the Cornish mineral should have been called Manaccanite and not Menaccanite, and the “new element” from it should have been termed “manachin” and not “menachin.”
