Extract

The place-names of mineral-localities in central Europe have presented many difficulties in connexion with the topographical indexes to 'Mineralogical Abstracts', and also in the much more extensive cardindex of localities represented by specimens in the Mineral Collection of the British Museum which has been in progress for many years. Further, I have been asked from several quarters to prepare a short check-list of equivalent names of those localities most frequently mentioned in mineralogical literature. When, in August 1927, Prof. F. Slavík was good enough to send me a copy of the manuscript list of Czechoslovakian localities and minerals which he had prepared in French for Prof. A. Lacroix for use in the Paris Museum, I at once recognized that with his co-operation a much more useful list could he prepared. This he readily assented to, and he has since extended his original list to include other countries.
