I received the highest award given to any one at the Cen- 

 tennial Exposition Of 1876, and the only award and medal 

 given toany American for "Collection or Minerals." 



My Mineralogical Catalogue of 100 pages is sent post-paid on receipt of 15 cents, heavy paper 25 cents, bound 

 in cloth 50 cents, V£ sheep 75 cents, % calf $1.00, cloth interleaved $1.00, y> sheep interleaved 81.25, % calf 

 Interleaved $1.50, (price-list alone, 16 pp. 3 cents); .- It is profusely illustrated, and the printer and engraver 

 charged me about $1,000 before a copy was struck off. By means of the table of species and accomi 



tables, most species may be verified. The price-list is an excellent check list, containing the names of all the 

 6pecies, and the more common varieties, arranged alphabetically, and preceded by the species number. The 

 species number indicates the place of any mineral in the table of species, where will usually be found the 

 species name, streak or lustre, cleavage or fracture, hardness, specific gravity, &c, &c, fusibility and crystalli- 

 zation. I have very many species not on the price-list, and some that I had in 1876 are no longer in stock. 



COLLECTIONS OF MINERALS for Students, Amateurs, Professors, Physicians, et ai. 

 The collections of 100 illustrate all the principal species and all the grand subdivisions in Dana and other 

 works on Mineralogy; all the principal Ores, &c, <fec. The collections are labelled with printed label tlat can 

 only be removed by soaking. The labels of the $5.00 and higher priced collections give Dana's species number, 

 the name, locality, and in most cases, the composition of the Mineral; the $5.00 and higher, are also accompa- 

 nied by my illustrated Catalogue and table of species. The sizes given are average; some smaller, many larger.
