Abstract
When the slip catalogue of the barytes specimens in the British Museum collection was in the course of preparation, a few observations were made which may be of sufficient importance to place on record. The lists of localities of the barium minerals, barytes, witherite, alstonite, and barytocalcite, in the collection show that rather more than half of the specimens (573 out of 975) come from the British Isles. Hence it would seem that there is a special concentration of these minerals in this part of the world. Possibly this is fictitious, as the collection cannot be considered to be completely representative.Keywords
