Roe, Arthur, and John S. White, Jr. A Catalog of the Type Specimens in the
Mineral Collection, National Museum of Natural History. Smithsonian Contri-
butions 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 denning 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

Introduction
The actual specimens used to define new min-
eral 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 min-
eral remaining. It is important that such types be
deposited in major museums where actively curated
mineral collections are housed. Such care is neces-
sary 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 cata-
logs, that other scientists are depositing their speci-
mens 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 dis-
carded. 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 obli-
gation to make their specimens available to other
scientists through placing them in museums.

At least seven categories of types have been des-
ignated 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 spe-
cies 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 classi-
fication. 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 in-
cluded 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.
