  • Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution
    HANDBOOK FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY IN THE U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM. Part i.—Geognosy.—The materials of the earth's crust. By George P. Merrill, Curator. INTRODUCTORY. The history of the Geological Department of the National Museum may he said to date from the appointment of Dr. George W. Hawes as curator in 1880, after the completion of the new building. Prior to this time, owing to the limited amount of space that could be devoted to the department in the Smithsonian building, the collections were necessarily small. They were also of a very miscellaneous character, the principal material of real value from a lithologic or geologic stand- point which they were found to contain being a collection of 300 speci- mens of rocks from France, purchased in 1869 from Louis Saeman in Paris, and a similar collection of 148 specimens of rocks of Saxony, received in 1863 from the Eoyal Mining School of Freiberg, Saxony. There was, it is true, much material that might have been of value had there been any accurate data concerning it ; but owing to the necessarily limited time and space that had been devoted to the care of these col- lections, in many cases nothing could be learned in regard to them, or if anything, the information was so meager as to be practically value- less. This was especially true of much of the material received from the various United States geological surveys and exploring expeditions. At the time Dr. Hawes entered upon his duties as curator he also assumed charge of that branch of the Tenth Census relating to the quarrying industry of the United States.

    BULLETIN OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA VOL. 65, PP. 39-70. 2 FIGS. JANUARY 1954 TRACE ELEMENTS OF VOLCANIC ULTRABASIC POTASSIC ROCKS OF SOUTHWESTERN UGANDA AND ADJOINING PART OF THE BELGIAN CONGO BY RIAD A. HIGAZY ABSTRACT The volcanic fields of Southwest Uganda and the adjoining part of the Belgian Congo are characterized by ultrabasic potassic rocks. The principal rock types are katungite, ugandite, and mafurite. Katungite is rich in melUite but free from augite; its potash is mainly in glass. Ugandite and mafurite contain augite, but their dominant feldspathoids are leucite and kalsilite respectively. Olivine is present in these three types. The investigated rocks also include members of the potash ankaratrite-mela-leucitite series, olivine melili- tite, kivite or leucite basanite, and limburgite. The constituents of the pyroclasts include fragments of prevolcanic crustal rocks and a subvolcanic suite of rocks consisting of various combinations of augite, biotite, and olivine. Representatives of both groups occur in the lavas as xenoliths and xenocrysts. The chemical compositions and trace-element contents of the different types are discussed. They are relatively rich in K2O, TiCfe, and P205 and characterized by having K20 > Na20 and Al2Os > (K20 + Na2O). They possess relatively high abundance of trace elements uncommon in ultrabasic rocks—namely, Sr, Ba, Rb, and Zr. It is shown that neither the crystallization differentiation nor the limestone-assimilation hypothesis can explain the peculiar geochemical features of the examined rocks. It is suggested that they originated by reactions between carbonatite magma which contributed Ca with Sr, La, and Y; Mg with Cr and Ni; Fe with V and Ti; and P; and sialic crustal rocks which provided Si; Al with Ga; and K with Rb and Ba.
