CHAPTER X.
MINERAL PRODUCTIONS OF CHINA.
THE following list of minerals, and their localities, is compiled from Chinese
geographical works, the Tatsingitungchi having furnished the greater part, though
for the sake of completeness, the special geographies of the different provinces, and
often those of departments, were searched.
The compilation involved the examination, by the author's Chinese secretary, of
over one thousand volumes.
Only a portion of the list compiled can be made available for publication owing to
our inability to identify the Chinese names for a large proportion of the useful
minerals.
The orthography adopted by Dr. S. W. Williams, for Chinese geographical
names, is followed in the list, where the subdivision of the country into provinces,
departments (Fu), and districts (Chau, Hien, or Ting), is also observed.
