    • 1915, C. H. Davis & W. Chauvenet, Proceedings of The American Association for the Advancement of Science, page 245:
      Hausmann has remarked the general homœomorphism between the carbonate and sulphate of lead; and the close likeness of form, which according to Dana,* is observed in the three crystalline systems, between the sulphates dreelite, anglesite, and glauberite, and the sulphato‐carbonates susannite, leadhillite, and lanarkite, confirms the view of their homology.
