page 540 note 2 The whole of the iron in No. I. was found “to be in the state of ferrous oxide, and that fact is sufficient evidence that the manganese exists as manganous oxide.” It is worthy of remark, that the felsitic portion of the rock contains more silica than the pitchstone, a result quite in accordance with that obtained by microscopic examination.
