COLLECTION 



OF 



RADIO-ACTIVE MINERALS 



ACCORDING TO 



mmje. ottjrie:. 



(Thesis presented before the Faculty of Sciences, Paris, June, 1903.) 



The locality from whence a specimen comes is important, no two sources of a 

 mineral affording examples of exactly the same degree of radio-activity. Their 

 external appearance also differs. Hence the number of local examples of several 

 minerals has been increased in this list beyond the number actually described in 

 the thesis. (Three Thorites are omitted.) The localities of the following speci- 

 mens are not always the same as those of the specimens investigated by Mine. 

 Curie. 



The steady development of the subject of radio-activity soon leaves any list 

 incomplete. We supply numerous other minerals desired by investigators in this 

 and allied subjects.
