Henry J. Seymour — Irish Minerals.

accompanied by analyses when obtainable. It is also contemplated 

 to add a Bibliography of Irish Mineralogy. In the above respects 

 it will therefore be the first publication of its kind in this country ; 

 and the chief aims of its compiler are : to encourage the study of 

 a much neglected science in Ireland ; to prevent the possibility of 

 anyone announcing as ' new finds ' minerals recorded more than 

 twenty years ago, instances of which have come to the notice of 

 the writer in the course of his work ; and to prevent the waste of 

 energy involved in re-examining well-known localities, to the 

 neglect of others much more promising and quite unworked. 



The following is the preliminary list of Irish minerals above 

 referred to ; and the further work which the writer hopes to do 

 during the coming year will doubtless add many more species to the 

 list, and perhaps also lead to the removal of a few which now find 

 a place therein.
