MR. ENGLISH'S EUROPEAN TRIP 



It will interest our customers to learn that Mr. English's 

 European trip, just ended, has proved to be the most suc- 

 cessful one in the history of our business. The trip was 

 planned with the aim of adding largely to our stock of 

 each of the five classes of minerals enumerated below. 

 As the amount of material secured has been far greater 

 than we expected, and as Mr. English's return home has 

 been consequently delayed, the bulk of the fine specimens 

 will not be on sale before July. 



EXTRA FINE CABINET SPECIMENS. 



We will merely mention at present a very few of the 

 minerals which will be on sale by June, leaving for next month some of our most 

 important announcements. 



Dioptase ; a few choice groups 



Pyromorphite, Ems ; a number of exceptionally good specimens. 



Manganite ; several extra fine Ilfeld groups. 



Cassiterite ; groups of superb, large and brilliant crystals and twins. 



Torbernite ; a few of the showiest and best crystallized ever in stock. 



Chalcosiderite ; a fine lot of specimens, much better than ever before. 



Campylite ; quite a number of good old-time specimens. 



LOOSE CRYSTALS. 



We were surprised to find so few really good crystals among European dealers, 

 nevertheless by securing a few here and a few there, and by personal visits to 

 localities, we have made large and most important additions to our stock, which is 

 now unquestionably by far the best in the world. 



Sphene ; a large lot of choice twins of two different types. 



Epidote, Tyrol ; a fine lot of single and twin crystals. 



Vesuvianite, Wilui ; a little lot of those very choice and rare crystals. 



Cuprite, Chessy ; large dodecahedrons, modified octahedrons, etc. 



Emerald, Bogota ; one fine, little, gemmy, crystal. 



Boracite ; a splendid assortment of the best crystals ever found. 



RARE SPECIES. 



Our purchases embrace approximately 400 distinct species, the great rarity of 

 many of which has, of course, made it possible to secure only one or two, or, at 

 most, a very few specimens of each, while of others we have obtained a good 

 supply. We have, room to name but a very few : 





Argentopyrite 



Argyrodite 



Aikinite 



Calomel 



Connellite 



Dyscraaite 

 Epiboulangerite 

 Ettringite 

 Euclase 

 Fuggerite (new) 



Greenockite (xled) 

 Gonnardite (new) 

 Homilite 

 Hielmite 

 Lehrbachite 



Palladium 



Rittingerite 



Skutterudite 



Sternbergite 



Vauquelinite 



CHEAP EDUCATIONAL SPECIMENS. 



We would call special attention to our large accessions of low-priced, yet 

 thoroughly illustrative specimens for students. These have been most carefully 

 selected by Mr. English, and our prices will be found lower and our stock better 

 than ever before. 



NEW MINERALS FOR BLOWPIPE ANALYSIS. 



Our standard is so much higher than that of any other house that experience 

 has taught us not to buy European minerals without first examining them, as a 

 large proportion are always below our standard. From several new sources of 

 supply we have selected much excellent material never before in stock. Our new 

 list will be the most extensive one ever issued, and our prices lower than ever, 

 owing to the larger quantities which our rapidly increasing trade enables us to 

 buy. Further information and price lists on application.
