Cotunnite from
Manhan Mines (Loudville Mine; Southampton Lead Mine; Northampton Lead Mine), Easthampton, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts, USA

Description
Comments:	The "cotunnite" reported and examined by Shepard (1866) was found in four specimens collected by Mr. P. W. Lyman. Emerson (1895) reexamined these same specimens and found them to be insoluble. He found them to contain lead and sulfur, but no chlorine, and identified them as anglesite. Ref; Emerson, B. K. (1895): A Mineralogical Lexicon of Franklin, Hampshire, and Hampden Counties, Massachusetts (USGS Bulletin 126).
