  The 
  recent 
  publication 
  of 
  the 
  Plrst 
  Appendix 
  to 
  Dana's 
  System 
  of 
  Mineralogy 
  

   will 
  be 
  the 
  occasion 
  of 
  many 
  collectors 
  revising 
  their 
  desiderata 
  lists. 
  

   The 
  volume 
  is 
  a 
  systematic 
  treatise 
  and 
  review 
  of 
  mineralogical 
  discovery 
  

   covering 
  the 
  past 
  seven 
  years 
  and 
  will 
  be 
  welcomed 
  by 
  mineralogists 
  of 
  all 
  coun- 
  

   tries. 
  If 
  it 
  brings 
  any 
  disappointmeht 
  to 
  enthusiasts, 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  solely 
  because 
  of 
  

   the 
  lack 
  of 
  specimens 
  in 
  even 
  the 
  most 
  complete 
  collections, 
  to 
  illustrate 
  many 
  of 
  

   the 
  highly 
  important 
  new 
  species 
  described. 
  The 
  following 
  list 
  may 
  relieve

  We 
  have 
  had 
  on

  Much

  was 
  

   selected 
  from 
  our 
  large

  and 
  svipplementing 
  this

  have 
  collected 
  nearly 
  

   enough

  the

  the

  best 
  stones 
  obtainable 
  are 
  

   required

  ours. 
  

  

  If

  fit

   semi-precious,

  mentioned,
