Extract

Shortly after the Meeting of June 16th, at which Mr. Dick gave the description of the characters of Geikielite, Mr. Joseph Baddeley, who had brought the specimens from Rakwana (or Rackwanné) (80°40' E., 6°25' N., in the District of Kollonnagam, Ceylon), courteously offered to present one of them to the British Museum for preservation in the Mineral Collection: the rest of his small store of eight or nine stones, picked out by him from a heap of other dense pebbles, he required for sending as samples to those friends in Ceylon whom he wished to interest in a search for further material.
