ai MINERALOGY. 
Preparative Part of Mineralogy.—Physical Properties of Mineral- 
ogy—Morphological Characters of Minerals—Systematic Arrange- 
ment of Minerals—A System founded partly on External and partly 
on Chemical Characters adopted.—In this system there are three 
Classes ; — Class 1. Acrogenous—On Surface-formed Minerals— 
Gases—Waters—Acids, and Salts. Class 2. Geogenous, or Minerals 
of which the known Solid Part of the Earth is chiefly composed— 
divided into Haloidal Minerals or Tasteless compounds of Earth 
and Acids, and Tasteless Compounds of Metals and Acids; Terri- 
genous or Earthy Minerals—Metalliferous Minerals. Class 3. Phy- 
togenous Minerals—Minerals chiefly formed of Mineralized Vege- 
table Matters.
