Abstract
ALTHOUGH small amounts of greenockite (cadmium sulphide) have been found in Scotland associated with zinc blende, the mineral has rarely been found in England. In July last one of us (A. W. G. K.) was examining blende from a small dump at some old workings at a hamlet called Green Ore near Chewton Mendip. The area was at one time worked for calamine (zinc carbonate) and most of the material of the dump consisted of this; but blende, galena and barytes were also present.
