The use of the two-circle contact goniometer in teaching crystallography

The two-circle contact goniometer was devised to supplement the two-circle reflecting goniometer, by furnishing a means for the measurement of medium-sized crystals not provided with sufficiently good reflecting faces for the successful use of the latter instrument. The contact goniometer has however proved itself adapted, in a greater degree even than the reflecting goniometer, to the demonstrati

A preliminary report was sent to Mr. Baker in November of that year and was quoted in his discussion of the geology of that region. I have since made a careful study of the collection, and although it contai
