MINERALOGY I.

Elementary Mineralogy and Blowpipe Analysis.

1. Sketch the models submitted, name the crystal forms present, indicating the faces in the sketches by arbitrary letters.

2. Give, with Naumann's symbols in each case, the simple forms of the triclinic system.

3. By means of mineral examples, explain what is meant by the following terms: (a) rock-forming minerals, (b) accessory minerals, (c) appellative minerals, (d) secondary minerals.

4. Describe carefully the mineral specimen submitted, giving name, chemical composition, physical properties,

etc.

5. Describe the following mineral species:-(a) galenite, (b) sphalerite, (c) fluorite, (d) chalcopyrite, (e) pyrrhotite, (f) barite, (m) arsenopyrite, (o) albite, (p) scapolite.

6. By means of the blowpipe determine the numbered specimens, and by field tests the lettered specimens.

FACULTY OF PRACTICAL SCIENCE.

PASS GEOLOGY OR GEOLOGY I

1. Describe the formation and the movement of a glacier; enumerate briefly the geological effects.

2. Account for the formation of volcanoes, and name their various products.

3. Define the following: thrust, acidic rocks, unconformity, fault, strike, porphyritic, breccia, boss, kaolin, gneiss.
