Excerpt from A Preliminary Descriptive Catalogue of the Systematic Collections in Economic Geology and Metallurgy: In the United States National Museum

The systematic collections in economic geology and metallurgy are designed to show the actual occurrence of each metal and the pro cesses used in their extraction; to these are added illustrations of the occur1ences of non-metallic ores and their utilization. The systematic collections should be carefully distinguished from the geographical collection.

The collections start in the case of each metal by showing the series of minerals in which the metal forms an important constituent. The specimens are selected to show each mineral in its best perfection in order that it may be seen just how the metals occur in the ores.
