Abstract
DIKING several years, whilst a curator in the United States National Museum, Dr. Pogue collected all the available information respecting this familiar gem-mineral, visiting for this purpose the principal museums and libraries of America and Europe. The result is an elaborate compilation with numerous footnotes giving references to the scattered literature of the subject. Being an exhaustive treatise on turquoise, although containing practically no original matter, it would have been more accessible and convenient for reference if it had been issued as a separate octavo volume, rather than being buried in the large quarto volumes of an academy publication.
