Abstract
ONE is pleased to find that, in an essay on the crystallography of calcite, by a gentleman who has received his training in America and Germany, the system of representation used by Prof. Miller has been adopted, and not the objectional modification employed by Professors Groth and Dana, jun. One regrets that the paper is unaccompanied by a stereographic projection, which would have much simplified the discussion of the distribution and position of the forms.
On the Crystallography of Calcite.
