MINERALOGY 2 



GUIDE TO THE 



MINERALOGIC COLLECTIONS 



OF THE 



NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 



PREFACE 



The kindly reception given to the Guide to the stud// of the 

 Geological Collections of the New York State Museum, published 

 in 1898, and the evidences of its utility as a teachers' aid in 

 the schools of the state, have made it seem desirable to continue 

 this method of treatment in regard to the other branches illus- 

 trated in the New York State Museum. 



Mr Whitlock, assistant in mineralogy, has accordingly, pre- 

 pared for publication the following bulletin and it is offered 

 to the citizens of the State of New York in the hope that it 

 will meet a material want and aid many teachers in their in- 

 structional work in mineralogy by supplementing the textbooks 

 new available.
