Abstract
IN striking contrast to the almost universal neglect with which the subject of ore deposits is treated in this country is the increasing attention that it is receiving from geologists and mining engineers abroad, and more especially in Germany and in the United States. In the recently published annual general report and statistics of the output of minerals in Great Britain, by Dr. C. Le Neve Foster, attention is called to the fact that our production of all metalliferous minerals, already small, is continually shrinking, and whilst this unpleasant fact may be the cause of the above-noted neglect of the study of ore deposits, it may equally well be an effect thereof, and may present one more example of the way in which we are being left behind by other nations in industrial pursuits, merely because we so uniformly disdain to study their scientific aspects.
