Abstract
NOT a great deal has been written about the minerals of Japan. The earliest information about them is contained in the treatise written by the late Prof. T. Wada, of which an English translation by T. Ogawa appeared in 1904. A second edition followed, but only in Japanese. Inasmuch as supplements speedily became necessary in order to keep the information up to date, Prof. Wada began in 1905 a series, under the general title of “Beitrage zur Mineralogie von Japan”, which was to consist of original papers on Japanese minerals written in either German or English; the latter language, however, was invari ably selected by the contributors. The series came to an end in 1915, and Prof. Wada died in 1920.
