The museum contains classified collections of (1) crystals, (2) minerals, 

 (3) rocks, and (4) meteorites. Catalogues of these are given, with short 

 notes. r. W. R.

 Passevi. Min. Mitt. Heft ii. pp. 97-101, with plate (crystals). 



A specimen from the Schneeberg, in the Tyrolese Alps, exhibited an 

 association of pyrrhotino, zinc-blende, and mica, the pyrrhotine en- 

 closing prisms of a green mineral, which were found to be simple crys- 

 tals of Albite. Analyses of the albite are given, and the crystals are 

 described in detail. P. W. R.

Describes the crystals of mispickel occurring in the Zinkwand mine, 



near Schladming, in Styria, and notices the paragenesis of the minerals 



there. P. W. R.

Describes. (1) occurrence of pinolitc at Goldeck, near Lend, in the 

 Lower Pinzgau ; (2) crinoid-remains from the pinohte-district at Sunk 

 in Styria ; and (3) halloysite from Tuffer. P. W. 11.

Part I. describes the chemical composition and physical propcitics of 

 minerals, including a sketch of crystallography. Part II. describes 

 the principal mineral species under the two groups of non-metallic and 

 metallic minerals. Figui'cs of crystals are given in plan and elevation, 

 and the faces distinguished by a peculiar system of shading. P. W. R.
