By Gr. Christian Hoffmann, F. Inst. Chem., Chemist and Mineralogist to the Geological 



and Natural History Survey of Canada. 



(PresentedlMay 8, 1889.) 



The following alphabetieally arranged list of minerals embraces all such as have, up 

 to date (Sei^ Addenda), been identified, with any degree of certainty, as occurring in 

 Canada. It includes species, varieties and synonyms — the names of species being printed 

 in black-faced type. Doubtful species ; such as have been shown on reexamination not 

 to be good species ; those requiring further investigation ; and one or two, the occurrence 

 of which in Canada has not been placed beyond all doubt, are enclosed in brackets — the 

 note to each of these particular minerals explaining for which of the foregoing reasons it 

 has been thus distinguished. It would have been foreign to the present intention to 

 have enumerated all the localities of occurrence of each particular mineral. Hence it is 

 only in some few instances — those of the more rarely occurring, — that this has been done. 

 In the case of those of more frequent occurrence, the principal localities where they are 

 found are, not infrequently, for the most part given; whilst in instances of very general 

 occurrence, mention is sometimes merely made of those places where the mineral has 

 been, met with in its most interesting form. In the preparation of this list the writer 

 has freely availed himself of the writings of Dr. T. Sterry Hunt, Prof. E. .T. Chapman and 

 the late Prof. H. How ; but more especially of those of Dr. Hunt, whose extended and 

 important contributions to the mineralogy of Canada may indeed be said to form the 

 basis upon which the present work has been constructed.
