OPHITES AND RELATED ROCKS. 21 evidence that thermal waters aided the assumed chemical reactions. Having now disposed of all the serpentinous structures of " Eozoon Canadense " in strict conformity with the mutations known to characterize the minerals composing them, we shall next offer our explanation of the origin of the calcitic layers which form the " intermediate skeleton " of this reputed fossil. With respect to the interchanges between a mineral silicate and a mineral carbonate, often obt...aining in ophite, we find that the calcite which frequently holds a place in the layers of chry- sotile is fibrous in certain instances, and retains the original structure of the latter mineral. Generally, however, the charac- teristic rhombohedral cleavage of calcite is developed. This replacement of chrysotile by a mineral carbonate retaining its typical fibrosity, and therefore possessing a fibrous structure similar to that of aragonite, has occurred to us in specimens of ophi-euphotide from the north of Italy, as already noticed in one of our previous memoirs*.
