552 TUNGSTEN, or SCHEELiUM. Hebrides*; at Herland, Pednandre, Hue! Fanny, Clig- ga and Kit hill, in Cornwall; in the Kartz it is met with ™ veins that traverse grey wacke; in primitive rocks at fchrenfnedersdort; Altenberg and Geyer, in Saxony; Zinnwald and Schlackenwald in Bohemia; and Puy les Mines in France. Observations. 1. It is distinguished from tinstone, among other char racters, by its streak, which is reddish brown; where as that of tinstone is grey. 2. This mineral was originally mistaken for antimony, which by the alchemists was called the wolf; probably because it acted violently upon, and, as it were, devour ed the base metals, in the process of refining gold ; hence arose the term spuma lupi; the word ram, which signi fies spuma, being commonly applied by the Germans to substances of a laminated texture.—Kid. vol. ii. p. 227.
