We have ir.uoh pleaame in presenting herewith the first edition of our Catalogim, calling your attention to our stock of minerals, precious and ornamental stones, ks., cut and uncut. Our lapidary department is fully equipped with the most modern machinery for the cutting and polishing of all kinds of precious stones, mosaics, paper weights, (fee. Tourists and others requiring souvenirs will find something to suit them among our varied stock of minerals. Being in direct communicBtion with a great number of persons at many points in the dominion we are able to srpply almost any Canadian mineral at short notice, even if it sl)ould not happen to be in stock. As we are well acquainted with the stratigraphy as well as the geographical flistiibution of many of our rocks, we jan also at a short notice supply [Msti-ological specimens. Special attention will be paid to thi preparation of all rock sections, that may be entru.sted to our care. We also .shall keej* in stock sections of some of our more important and interesting rocks. Our elementary and student's collection of minerals will be found to be thoroughly reliable, characteristic and Canadian, and no foreig;; minerals will be used in any of the.se collections. With a view to meet all demands, we pro|)Ose to givj a classitied list of minerals only. Written lists, giving the exact locality of eacli specimen, will be fur- nished for 25c, 50c and 75c extra, according to the size of the collection. Besides the above collections we are prepared to make up suites of specimens to suit any method of teaching. Size of specimen, according to order. We will undertake the naming of Canadian minerals, as well as their arrangement and classification on the most reasonable terms. C. P.

We are glad to say that we have receivrd much encouragement from the acientitic puWlic, who have expressed tlioir approlmtioii of our gigantic undertaking. Those peiHonsonly, who have laboured for science can begin to realize the object of our new enLer|)rise. UeuKiniber we are not following any oartiuular fancy that prejudice has given rise to respecting many so-called precious stones, nor do we intend to follow the faehion which a few speculators hav« established. We rather intend to show to the public what material we have in Caiiuda, suitable for jewellery ami other ornamental purposes. And as self adornment in a proof of taste, why cannot it also be said that the judgment necessary, was assisted by a patriotic spirit in selecting from our native material the objects of their embellishment. It is true we have not yot found the Diamond in Canada, or any of the corumlum species. Ruby, Sapphire, etc., but we have other stones less expensive and sufficiently hard and handsome, which can rival many of our foreign or imported gems. You may ask what have we in Canada to replace those foreign stones with ] Well, we have the Beryl which affords both the Emerald and Aqua- Marine, the Tourmaline which supplies small gems of an emerald and olive green colour, the Amethyst with its pleasing shades, the Asteria which will vie with any transparent or colourless stoii' fr-oni any part of the world, the Diamond excepted its brilliancy combined with its peculiar reflected star, making it a very imposing and pleasing gem. We have hIso the pale lemon and citron coloured Garnet, whick cannot l)o surpassed for brilliancy. The Sodalite is harder than the foreign Lapis Lazuli, and superior in colour. Our blue Moonstonea, although not so transparent as the Ceylon, are nevertheless more bril- liant, and reflect a blue light instead of whit<^. They have ah ) the same hardness as the Ceylon stone. Our Amazon stone is prettier than the Colorado, and our Perthite and Labradorite are minerals of great beauty. Our Agates, Jaspers, Hornstones, etc.. cannot be surpassed. You will perhaps say, why have we not heard of these before, ; the answer is simply because their properties were not known, and indeed in several instances we introduce the material itself for the first time. Any stone enumerated in this catalogue may be cut to order. Remember the figures quoted at the bottom of the description of each stone indicate the lowest and highest price, the intermediate prices vary so consider-ably depending on their perfection, brilliancy, soundness and size that a quotation of to-day would not answer for to-morrow. C. P. WILLIMOTT & CO., 333 WELLINGTON ST., OTTAWA. CAN. —■ ' FOREIGN STONES. Although we inako a speciality of Canadian mineralfi we find we •re obliged to keep Home foreign material to suit the local trade, such as Bloodstone, Ciocidolite, Malachite, Jet, etc., etc., which we are also |>re|>ared to cut to order. ASTERIA. This name was used as far back as Pliny, to designate a certain mineral, which reveals by transmitted or reflected light, a star of six mys ; a property which is also occasionally seen in the sapphire. The stones we are cutting show this star beautifully, and in fine specimens may be seen some yards off. This stone has also this peculiarity, that when it is turned round, the six rays are seen to contract into one, some- what resembling the Cats-eye. This phenomenon is only seen after being cut, and requires great 'skill in the cutting to produce a good effect. The stone is perfectly transparent and as Imrd as the ordinary cats eye. The material from which these beautiful gems are derived, is rather limited, and even with the material on hand, much trouble is often ex|)erienced in getting a three carat stone out of a piece ot a quat ter pound weight. These stones are cut («n cabuchon) or convex so as to show to the best advantage. They look well in rings, pins, studs, ' : . 10 surpass the raore sombre opaque bluiHh green mineral from the Rockies. We hare also a beautifully shaded stone from Labrador. These neat and pretty stones look well in broaches, pins, studs, buttons, charms, etc. Price, 25 cents to $5 each. MISCELLANEOUS. We have also a number of miscellaneous cut stones not mentioned in the above list suitable as mineralogical gems, such as Scapolite, Banded Quartz, Microcline, different coloured Orthoclaso, Wilsonite, etc., etc. Price, 25 cents to $3 each. - % POLISHED SPECIMENS.
