ABSTRACT

Roe, Arthur, and John S. White, Jr. A Catalog of the Type Specimens in the Mineral Collection, National Museum of Natural History. Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences, number 18, 43 pages, 1976.—A complete list, arranged alphabetically by mineral name, of the type specimens in the mineral collection of the National Museum of Natural History. These are the actual specimens that were used in defining new mineral species. For each species the catalog number, locality, literature citation for the original description, source of specimens, and date of accession are given.

OFFICIAL PUBLICATION DATE is handstamped in a limited number of initial copies and is recorded in the Institution’s annual report, Smithsonian Year. SERIES COVER DESIGN: Aerial view of Ulawun Volcano, New Britain.

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.

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.
