Summary
The volume takes the form of a monograph over all minerals recorded on the mainland of Norway up to 1980. Some mineral data which have come to light in more recent years, published or unpublished, are also included. The principal aim has been to collect and present available data, including the reported modes of occurence of the minerals, and to present a bibliography which is a complete as possible. Descriptions are arranged according to crystallochemical system used in Klocmann's "Lerbuch der Mineralogie", 16th. edition, 1972. An index over all the named minerals (c. 880 different names) is given at the back of the monograph.
