A village of Asia Minor in the Vilayet of Angora, about 17 miles from the towTi of Yozgad, in latitude 40° 1' X. and longitude 34° S5' E. The modem village is insignificant, but the heiglits near by contain many ancient ruins and a number of remarkable sculptures. The place was an important seat of Hittite civiliza- tion, and fragiuents of pottery seem to show intercourse with the ilycena>an lands. For a de- scription of the remains and drawings of the sculptures, consult Van Lennep, Travels in Asia Minor (London, 1870) ; and for the recent ex- cavations. E. Chantre, Mission- en Cappadoce (Paris, 1898), whose statements as to a Baby- lonian colony must be received with caution; consult also Hall, Oldest Civilization of Greece (London and Xew York, 1901). The common identification with the ancient Pterium has re- cently been rendered doubtful by the explora- tions of Dr. Belck. BOGHEAD COAL. A bituminous coal of Scotl:in(t. more valuable for making gas than for fuel. The coal is named from the chief place of deposit. Boghead, Linlithgowshire. See TORIIANITE. BOG-IRON ORE. A name applied to depos- its of limonite (liydrous ferric oxide) that are often found in alluvial soils, bogs, meadows, lakes, etc. It is abundant in some of the north- cm and western islands of Scotland and in the northern countries of Europe generally; also in North America. Sometimes the ore accumu- lates with great rapidity; thus, in some Swedish lakes a laver half a meter thick accumulates every fifteen to thirty years. Its constituent iron is dissolved out from the rocks by spring-water, from wliieh it is precipitated in an insoluble form when exposed to the air. The amount of iron oxide in the ore commonly ranges from 40 to 50 per cent. : phosphoric acid is usually present in quantities varying from 2 to 11 per cent. ; silica, alumina, oxide of manganese, and other substances make up the rest. The color of the ore is brown — either yellowish brown or blackish brown. Some varieties are earthy and friable and are formed of dull, dusty particles; others are in masses with an earthy fracture, often vesicular; still others are more compact and have a conchoidal fracture. The ore is often mi.xed with so much clay and sand that these have to be separated by washing before the ore can be used. Owing to the low per- centage of iron, the commercial value of bog- iron ore is rarel_v very high, although the quality of the iron yielded is good. Bog-iron ore, which contains much clay and has a uni- form color, is sometimes used as a paint. See Irox and Limoxite. BOGI§IC, bo'ge-shich, Balthasar (1840—). A Slavic jurist.
