INTRODUCTION
the time that Bulletin 136, the current revision of Minerals of California was published, it was planned to issue, from time to time, supplements which would keep the work up to date. These supplements would further provide opportunity for correcting errors in Bulletin 136,
At
came to light on inspection and use. The amount of new literature on California minerals, and the number of new-found occurrences, since 1945, the closing date for entries in Bulletin 136, have alread}^ warranted the publishing of the first of these supplements, covering the years 1946, 1947, and 1948. The first supplement has been incorporated in this, the second supplement, which covers the vears 1949, 1950, and 1951 as well. It has been planned as a simple continuation of Bulletin 136, with the occurrence numbers and literature references running consecutively. Important references to California
as these
minerals have been entered in the bibliography whether or not they are directly used in this supplement. A list of errors so far discovered in Bulletin 136 is inserted here, and it is to be hoped that anyone observing additional errors or omissions will bring them to the attention of the writers so that they may be corrected in subsequent supplements. Typographical and other errors have been drawn to our attention by the following persons Irving Thomas, Delmar Daves, Edward H. Schafer, and George Switzer. We are grateful for these observations, and have in general noted them in the present sup:
plement.
