Extract

The material examined forms part of the late Dr. Henry S. Peele's collection, which shortly before his death he decided to present to the British Museum. Dr. Poole was at one time Government Inspector of Mines in Nova Scotia, and his collection is rich in Nova Section ores and minerals from many well-defined localities.
