Abstract
THE position which crystallography ought to occupy in a scheme of scientific education is far from being generally recognized. Every day the importance of this branch of science, not only to the mineralogist and geologist, but also to the physicist and chemist, is becoming more deeply felt; and yet, as a general rule, the systematic study of crystallography is left quite unprovided for in our schools and Universities.
