3. Starting again (1920-1950) The peace treaties after World War I brought about a territorial loss of 71 percent for Hungary. From mineralogical point of view almost all the classical localities of the XVIIIth and XLXth centuries became integral parts of the neighbouring countries. This is apparent from the fact that only 5 percent of all the localities named in Tóth's monograph (TÓTH, 1882) are to be found in the present-day Hungary, with only 51 species. The situation is reflected also in the collection of the great museums of the world, where 80 to 90 percent of the specimens registered as originating from Hungary are in fact from places in present-day Slovakia and Romania.
