Abstract
A SPECIMEN of a mineral, forming portion of a mass stated to have been found in the basalt of Co. Antrim, was recently sent for identification to the office of the Geological Survey of Ireland by Mr. S. B. Wilkinson, the senior geologist, to whom it was handed by the finder. As it presents some peculiar features, and appears to be new to science, we take this opportunity of recording its occurrence. The complete examination of the mineral will necessarily occupy some time.
