taught this subject regularly through lectures and Iaboratories for
22 years is not in itself sufficient reason in his view. The
motivation to do so arose out of the necessity to provide for
students of this science and sister sciences 80 single useful and
comprehensive book. Previous texts have been designed with subjects
selected to conform to the courses taught at German Universities.

intimately linked with its sister science that boundaries tend to
disappear. It is known that interdisciplinary approaches frequently
promote particularly successful research. Thus, also in the field
of mineralogy, the influence of the allied sciences has been of
great importance. This is particularly true of the influence of
mathematics and physics on crystaIlo- graphy and of geology on
petrology. The changing emphasis on the one or the other branches
of our science, however, has not always been beneficiaI. For
example, it has resulted in judgments such 80S the following,
