E. H. BRONSON*—I find this paper very interesting, except that I am not able to understand the derivation of the so-called "realization factor." This factor is defined as the ratio of the size of square opening passing all the feed to the gape of the receiving opening. By this I presume the author means the size of rock feed to the width of crusher opening. So if we fed a 12 in. rock to a 16 by

Largely forgotten by today's environmentalists and mineralogists is a pioneer scientist of the nineteenth century named Ellen Swallow. Fortunately, the memory of her accomplishments has been resurrected by Robert Clarke in his biography, Ellen Swallow: The Woman Who Founded Ecology. Her direct contributions to the field of mining included authoring First Lessons in Minerals and an analysis of the rare mineral samarskite which indicated the presence of an insoluble residue; her findings led to the eventual discovery of samarium and gadolinium. While enjoying the distinction of being the first woman student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, she successfully isolated vanadium in an ore which other experts had examined without detecting the metal.

By the death of Bergrath Prof. M. F. Gaetzschmann, which occurred on the 18th of February, in the 95th year of his age, at his lifelong home in Freiberg, Saxony, the Institute loses one of its earliest and most eminent honorary members, and the profession of mining and engineering one of its most influential and useful representatives,

THERE is always a difficulty in assigning limits to the scope of a science or art, and among the difficulties of that kind besetting practical or stratigraphical geology is that of determining what kinds of natural objects shall be considered as the goals of its search. The term mineral, in its broader sense, includes every solid, liquid, or

Microstructures and mineral chemistry of amphiboles and plagioclases from two spatially related mylonite zones at the Grenville front are significantly different, suggesting different physical conditions (including temperature) for the formation of the two zones. Oxygen isotopes indicate multiple episodes of fluid-rock interaction, consistent with previously determined mylonitization temperatures and postulated tectonic evolution of the area.

The surface area that mining requires is a minuscule fraction of the total land mass of the United States, according to the US Bureau of Mines' latest report "Land Utilization and Reclamation in the Mining Industry, 1930-71." During the 42-year period from 1930 to 1971, the mining industry utilized 3.65 million acres-only 0.16% of a total 2.27 billion acres of land-and reclaimed 1.46 mil- lion acres, or 40% of what it used. Which leaves, as still unreclaimed, 0.096% of the nation's total land mass.
