Excerpt from Bulletin of the New York State Museum of Natural History: No; 4. August, 1888, Some New York Minerals and Their Localities, Prepared for the New York State Museum of Natural History This bulletin has been prepared at my request by Mr. Frank L. Nason, of the Geological Survey of New Jersey, formerly of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy. Mr. Nason was employed for a time by the State Museum to assist in the work of arranging for exhibition the general collection of minerals; and, also, in collecting minerals in Essex and Warren counties. Three suites of minerals in the general mineralogical collection of the Museum are noticed in this bulletin. And it is divided into the following parts, descriptive of these three several collections: 1. A description of a new locality of fine brown tourmaline and associated minerals, brought to the notice of the Museum by Mr. C. E. Beecher, consulting palaeontologist of the New York State Museum and assistant in the Yale University Museum. 2. A notice of some pyroxenes and associated minerals, found at the Chilson Hill mine, in the town of Ticonderoga, Essex county, by C. E. Beecher and Frank L. Nason. 3. Calcites collected by the late Prof. E. Emmons, State Geologist, at the lead mines of Rossie, St. Lawrence county, N. Y. The first and second collections, here mentioned, represent the direct work of the Museum within the past two years; the last represents, also, although indirectly, work clone about fifty years ago. No attempt has been made to give a strictly technical description of the minerals noticed, but it is hoped that this bulletin may serve to direct the attention of students to them and to some special features of the Museum collections.
