Introduction

The actual specimens used to define new mineral species are known as "types." In nearly every

case, when the description of a new mineral species

has been completed, there is some of the new mineral remaining. It is important that such types be

deposited in major museums where actively curated

mineral collections are housed. Such care is necessary because only by studying the type material is

there a possibility that inadequacies or errors in

the original description or subsequent work can

be rectified. Only in working with the type material

can invalid species be discredited or discredited

species be revalidated.

A type specimen catalog has value in many ways.

Describers of new species learn, through these catalogs, that other scientists are depositing their specimens in museums. In discovering that museums

covet such specimens, they may be encouraged to

offer their own material which otherwise may

gather dust in a drawer and eventually be discarded. It is hoped that the practice of preserving

type specimens will thus become more automatic

than it has been. There are still describers of new

species who do not recognize the importance of

type specimens and who are unaware of their obligation to make their specimens available to other

scientists through placing them in museums.

History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560.

At least seven categories of types have been designated in mineralogy.* In this catalog we make

no attempt to classify the types according to these

designations, although many are clearly holotype

(a single specimen selected by the author of a species as its type), some are cotype (specimens used

to give additional information on the species) or

metatype (specimens compared with the type by

the author and determined to be co-specific with

it), and others are types of even lower status. Most

of the type specimens have been received over the

years and incorporated into the collections without

sufficient information to permit a secondary classification. The user and the curator, at the time

when a new study is undertaken, will have to make

the determination (if possible) of the class of type

specimen being utilized. Ideally, a description of

the type specimen and its pedigree would be included in any publication that results from each

study. All records relating to the acquisition of

each type specimen in this collection are retained

with the original accession documents and are

available for examination.

The collection of type specimens continues to

grow as new species are constantly being added.

For this reason, we plan to produce future editions

of the catalog in order that the newer specimens

can be incorporated.
