A short Summary of Contents. 



_Dy the composition of this work it has been my object 

 to give a description of all Greenland minerals with exact in- 

 formations of the localities and statements of the persons who 

 have found them, together with the complete literature. 



By far the greater part of the work (pp. 1 — 558) is taken 

 up with a list of all the minerals known from Green- 

 land, mostly arranged according to Groth: Tabellarische Über- 

 sicht der Mineralien, 1898. All minerals that have been deter- 

 mined with certainty, are numbered, up to 162 in all; further 

 some minerals have been enumerated, which have, at different 

 times, been mentioned as found in Greenland, but which may 

 be proved, with more or less certainty, not to have been found 

 there. Under each mineral, with the exception of those that 

 are known only from a single locality, is first found a general 

 description of the mineral, printed in small types, and intended 

 for non-mineralogists. Then follows a geographically arranged 

 list of the localities in Greenland of the mineral in question ; 

 this arrangement has been made in such a way, that the list 

 begins at the northernmost point of the west-coast, and then 

 it passes southward along this coast and northward along the 

 east-coast, finishing at the northernmost point here. For the 

 sake of orientation the country has been divided into the fol- 

 lowing parts, most of which coincide with the division into 

 districts used by the administration :
