The extent of each of these parts is best seen by com- 

 paring the map with the list of the situation of the localities, 

 on p. 589. 



Under each locality is first given the name of the person 

 who has first found the mineral in Greenland ; later gatherers 

 have only been mentioned, when they have collected essentially 

 better material. It is constantly to be remembered that in some 

 localities — we do not always know in details in which locali- 

 ties — the mineral has been found by Greenlanders, and then the 

 name attached is that of the person who has received the mineral 

 from the natives and has sent it to the mineralogical collections. 

 After this statement is found a list of literature, and next a 

 description of the occurrence of the mineral, its crystalline 

 form and other facts, as they have been observed from the 

 locality in question. The description is either a report of the 

 literature quoted, or wholly or partly a result of new examin- 

 ations made in the large Greenland collections found in the 

 Mineralogical Museum of the University of Copenhagen. Also 

 the figures, 119 in number, are either borrowed from earlier 

 essays and then the name of the author in question has been 

 added under the figure, or they have been drawn on the basis 

 of my own examinations; of such new figures 87 are found in 

 all. The symbols of the faces used in the book correspond to the 

 position of the crystals used in Dana's System of Mineralogy 

 1892; with regard to the newer specifically Greenland minerals,
