My Mineralogical Catalogue of 100 pages is sent post-paid on receipt of 15 cents, heavy paper 25 cents, bound 
jn cloth 50 cents, 14 sheep 75 cents, 44 calf $1.00, cloth interleaved $1.00, 44 sheep interleaved $1.25, 14 calf 
{interleaved $1.50, (price-list alone, 16 pp. 3 cents}. It is spuoteeely 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 sce ompany ine 
tables, most species may be verified. The price-list is an excellent check list, containing the names of all the 
species, 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, &., &., fusibility and crystalli- 
_ gation. I have yery many species not on the price-list, and some that r had in 1876 are no longer in stoclk. 
COLLECTIONS OF MINERALS for Stucents, 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., &c. The collections are labelled with printed label that can 
| only bs remoyed 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, arc also accompa- 
nied by my illustrated Catalogue and table of species. The sizes given are average; some smaller, many larger.
