A butterfly-twin of Gypsum

The specimen here described was acquired in 1913 for the mineral collection of the British Museum. It came from one of the numerous sulphur mines in the province of Girgenti, Sicily. Being of some size (15 cm. = 6 inches across) and with the two individuals well separated and symmetrically disposed, it affords a striking illustration of a twin growth. The crystal is colourless and perfectly transparent; it encloses one or two small patches of native sulphur and compact limestone. A portion, probably about one-third, of the original specimen has been broken away along the perfect cleavage of gypsum ; and this fact, together with the amall point of attachment, increases the resemblance of the twin to tbe butterfly form, which is here more striking than in the so-called butterfly-twins of calcite.

1. Description of the Sulphur Mine near Conil; preceded by a Notice of the Geological features of the southern portion of Andalucia

Dr Traill's paper was divided into four sections: the 1st contained the geology of Andalucia from the Sierra Nevada of Granada to the south; the 2d described the mountain or rock of Gibraltar; the 3d traced the succession of rocks from the Sierra Morena to the south and south-west; and the 4th described the Sulphur Mine near Conil.1. In the part of the Sierra Nevada visited by Dr Traill, which was at about two-thirds of its height, the only visible rocks were mica-slate, in its lower portions approaching to gneiss, on which reposed beds of limestone, evidently belonging to the same formation as the slate.
