Abstract

At Mr. Collins's request I submit to the members of the Mineralogical Society the following preliminary notice of substances which I have collected during" my somewhat extensive wanderings about Scotland.

In the case of several of the substances described, it will be seen that I do not by any means bring them forward as being without doubt new minerals; of that, I have not satisfied myself, and still less can I hope to satisfy others, until specimens more fitted for absolute deterrmination are obtained, and that in a quantity larger than what I have as yet had to operate upon.

The noting and describing these substances now, will enable others to lend their aid in the work.
