APPENDIX 1 List of Carpathian specimens in the Woodwardian collection The list contains all Carpathian specimens in the Woodwardian Collection described in the catalogue (WOODWARD 1729). WOODWARD used an elaborate system to classify specimens in his collection. Also he listed English and foreign specimens in separate catalogues. As the collection grew, additional catalogues have been set up. A detailed description of catalogues is given by PRICE (1989). This list of excerpts gives the titles of each catalogue, the titles of sections and subsections containing Carpathian mineral specimens and the relevant entries. WOODWARD'S original usage of italics and brackets is preserved. We provide page numbers in small letters. The actual position of the specimens (e.g. {E-4-15}, where E is the cabinet of foreign specimens, 4 is the drawer number, and 15 is the specimen's number within the drawer) is given at the end of each entry, copied from PRICE'S manuscript catalogues in Cambridge. Translation of non-English texts and the correct version of locality names is given within angle brackets <...> in the entries. Notes of the authors follow the entries. Usually the mineralogical remarks stand first, followed by those concerning the specimen or the occurrence. Remarks concerning mineralogical terms occurring in multiple entries (e.g. fluorés, marcasite etc.) are listed alphabetically in Appendix 2. Abbreviations: [E]: English, [G]: German, [L]: Latin. Locality names in the notes are the same (usually German) as used by WOODWARD, only with corrected spelling. The complete list of the Carpathian locality names together with their equivalents is given in Appendix 3. WOODWARD (1729) NHM: MIN Spec.
