Extract

Baron A. De Schulten, a political refugee from Finland, worked during the latter part of his life in the chemical laboratories of the Sorbonne in Paris. There he prepared in a crystallized form number of minerals and compounds analogous to them. These were determined crystallographlcally and compared in isonlorphous series. For example, having obtained crystals of artificial monetite, CaHPO4, he then proceeded to prepare the corresponding compounds in which strontium, barimn, or lead take the place of calcium, and arsenic the place of phosphorus. In this series he determined the crystallographic constants and optical data for CaHPO4, SrHPO4, BaHPO4, PbHPO4, SrHAsO4, and PbHAsO4. Crystals of CaHAsO4 were also obtained, but they were too small tbr measurement. Any of these compounds might be expected to occur in nature, but hitherto only monetite has been found as a mineral.
