In 1866 William P. Blake, professor of mineralogy, geology and
mining at the College of California, parent to the University of
California, Berkeley, prepared as a report to the State Board of
Agriculture an "Annotated Catalog of the Principal Mineral Species
Hitherto Recognized in California and the adjoining States and
Territories. " Seventy-seven mineral species appeared on the list.
It was the beginning of a series that became known as Minerals of
California. This first catalog was followed in 1884 and 1886 by a
list of 135 species compiled by H. G. Hanks, the first state
mineralogist of California, and pub. lished in the fourth and sixth
State Mining Bureau reports. Then beginning in 1914 with a volume
prepared by A. S. Eakle, professor of mineralogy at the Uni versity
of California, Berkeley, the Division of Mines and Geology
published new editions in the series at approximately ten-year
intervals. Author Year Mineral Species A. S. Eakle 1914 352 A. S.
