Asks where WL procured a certain 'large crystal of Fish-eye-Stone.'
Finds that the crystal of 'Fish-eye-stone' came from Sweden and was attached to a mass of oxydulous iron. Hopes that JH receives this information in time for his paper.
JH's geological specimen is a piece of granular quartz, found in great quantities in Berks, Wilts, and Herts. JH promised to show him some of the garnets found by [J. S.?] Henslow in Anglesea.
