In 1878 a new and remarkable mineral locality at Branchville, Fairfield County, Connecticut, was discovered; and, in connection with Professor Edward S. Dana, Professor Brush produced a series of papers on the new minerals there found. These papers are contained in the "American Journal of Science," third series, vol. xv, pp. 398, 481; vol. xvi, pp. 33, 114; vol. xvii, p. 359; vol. xviii, p. 45, and vol. xix, p. 316; and in them are described the new phosphates—Eosphorite, Triploidite, Dickinsonite, Lithiophilite, Reddingite, Fairfieldite, and Fillowite. In conjunction also with Professor E. S. Dana he contributed to the same journal a memoir on "Spodumene and its Alterations" (xx, 257), and a paper on "Crystallized Danburite from Russell, New York" (xxi).

In 1862 Professor Brush was made a corresponding member of the Royal Bavarian Academy of Sciences; in 1866 a member of the Im-' perial Mineralogical Society of St. Petersburg; and in 1877 a foreign correspondent of the Geological Society of London. He is also a member of the American Philosophical Society, of the National Academy of Sciences, and of various other scientific bodies in this country. In 1880, at the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, held at Boston, he was elected its president for the following year, and in that capacity presided over the meeting held in August, 1881, at Cincinnati.
