1 The above Note was communicated by my friend Mr. Davies to the translator of “Keller's Lake-Dwellings,” and appears in the Appendix to the second edition of that work, just issued by Messrs. Longmans. Its object is to correct some inaccuracies regarding the use of the terms ‘Nephrite,’ ‘Jade,’ ‘Jadeite,’ etc. It appeared to be so interesting that, with the writer's permission, it is reprinted here.—Edit. Geol. Mag.

2 Damour makes the old name ‘Nephrite’ a synonym both of Oriental and Oceanic Jade; the term Nephrite being generally abandoned by Mineralogists.—T.D.
