Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of New York Mineral Localities The lack of systematic classification and of accurate geographic and geologic location of the many mineral localities of New York State, which so materially hampers a detailed study of any mineral collection, has suggested the preparation of a list of the recorded localities for mineral specimens in New York State, which is offered to the public in the following bulletin. The kindly reception accorded to the previous publications of this division of the New York State Museum has led to the hope that the present bulletin will meet a material want not only as a curatorial aid to museum workers in mineralogy in furthering a more accurate labeling of New York specimens but also as a guide to collectors, teachers and students in their field excursions. The data have been largely compiled from the mineralogic and geologic publications given in the bibliography and have, in a number of cases, been added to, checked and modified by field notes and by the study of specimens from the collections mentioned in the list of authorities. Such a list must, from its character, be incomplete in many points and the author would gladly welcome any information which would render a subsequent edition more comprehensive and accurate.
